Hello! I'm
Matt Pierce

I’m a journalist-researcher who pursues the bigger picture that slips past even the most trained—yet deaf—ears.

Visible Truth

My love for art sharpens every investigation, letting me translate the facts I uncover as a journalist into stories we can see, feel, and experience—where evidence becomes undeniable through the senses.

Unmasking Humanity

Throughout my career, I’ve probed the human element—exploring lived experience and the insecurities that quietly define us—to bring their deeper truths to light.

Beyond The Byline

Journalism has brought me face-to-face with the world’s toughest issues, and now I’m stepping into academia to study those same people, places, and problems in ways that incubate—and accelerate—real change.
