Hello! ¡Hola! Bonjour !
I’m Roman Gressier, a French-American journalist and the English editor of the Central American news site El Faro. I’ve covered politics, justice, and social movements in the region since 2020 and host the weekly El Faro English podcast, Central America in Minutes. I edit our new digital magazine launched in May 2025, Central America Monthly.
I live in Guatemala City, where I write dispatches on current events, in-depth chronicles and interviews, and political investigations, in both English and Spanish. I have also written for the U.S. magazines NACLA, The Baffler, and Mexico’s Letras Libres, among others. I’m a double-graduate from CUNY: I got my BA from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and my MA from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. I am also a freelance copy-editor, translator (ENG-ESP-FRA), and interpreter.
I plan on further developing my website into a full-fledged portfolio of my work. In the meantime, here is the latest episode of Central America in Minutes:
