Tradeoffs’ reporter and producer Ryan Levi is the new president of the Washington, D.C. chapter of NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists (NLGJA).
With more than 20 professional and student chapters across the United States, NLGJA works to foster fair and accurate coverage of LGBTQ+ issues in the media. Levi has served on the NLGJA-DC chapter board since 2022.
“I’m incredibly excited to take on this new leadership role with an organization full of incredible journalists,” Levi said. “In these uncertain and challenging times for many in our queer and trans community, I hope NLGJA can continue to be a space for queer and trans D.C. journalists to connect with their peers, find support, grow in their careers, and build community.”
At Tradeoffs, Levi’s reporting covers a wide range of health care issues, including Medicaid, mental health, addiction and health technology, including artificial intelligence. In 2024, Levi produced a three-part series in partnership with The Marshall Project that examined how one American city has dramatically changed its response to people in crisis. His reporting has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and Morning Edition, PBS NewsHour, Slate and Harvard Public Health Magazine.
