Reporter, journalist

Hi, I’m Nikoel Hytrek, a journalist located in Des Moines, Iowa. I have deep experience leading coverage of reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, and the Iowa Legislature. My work frames local issues to both explain the issue and to connect the story to a larger context.
Outside of reproductive and LGBTQ rights, I have experience covering courts, extremism, elections, government, water quality, and more pressing issues for Iowans.
