Hi, I’m Amanda Rossmann, a Midwest visual journalist and multimedia producer specializing in photography, audio storytelling, and documentary-style projects.

I grew up in rural Ohio, where I fell in love with storytelling early on. I studied journalism and communications at Northern Kentucky University, with a minor in photography, and went on to spend sixteen years as a visual journalist at The Cincinnati Enquirer. There, I photographed daily life, produced documentary video, and eventually helped bring narrative journalism into the podcast space.

In 2016, I co-created and produced the true crime podcast Accused with investigative reporter Amber Hunt. The show has surpassed 50 million downloads, was named one of Rolling Stone’s Best True Crime Podcasts of All Time, and earned two Edward R. Murrow Awards. I’ve also produced and edited a number of other documentary audio projects, including Great American Dream, Aftermath, and Murder on Music Row (The Tennessean).

I believe deeply in collaborative storytelling. I was part of the editorial leadership team on Seven Days of Heroin, the immersive multimedia project that earned the Enquirer a Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting in 2018. I’m also a two-time Regional Emmy Award winner.

In 2022, I stepped away from the newsroom to build a more flexible creative life. Today, I freelance for news organizations, photograph families, seniors, small weddings and births, and occasionally run up and down muddy soccer fields to photograph youth sports. I co-founded and currently help run the independent podcast network Grab Bag Collab, where I engineer and help with production on podcasts including Crimes Of The Centuries, Strange And Unexplained, Dear Daisy, The Catalyst, and our newest investigative series, What If They’re Wrong: After the Accusation.

Whether I’m behind a camera, in the studio, or editing quietly from my couch with a giant mug of coffee, my work is rooted in curiosity, care, and the belief that everyone’s story matters.
