Colin Daileda is a freelance journalist in Bangalore, India. His reporting, essays, and photography have been published in The Baffler, Longreads, The Atlantic, Atlas Obscura, and many others. Before Bangalore, he was a reporter for Mashable based in New York City, from where he often traveled across the United States writing about state violence and social justice.

He is a Pulitzer Center grant recipient, and his reporting has been nominated for awards from the Online News Association, Covering Climate Now, and the Fetisov Charitable Foundation.

Colin’s freelancing has taken him from the cratered roads of the Himalayas up north, down to the flat lagoons of Jaffna, Sri Lanka. All that has been great, but he’d be just as happy playing basketball or eating a doughnut.

He writes a Substack newsletter called Uncanny Thread, about the strangeness of climate change in everyday life. Subscribing is free.
