Laura A. Bliss is a journalist and editor whose work has been featured in many periodicals including The Atlantic,[1] Bloomberg Businessweek,[2] Los Angeles Magazine,[3] MIT Technology Review,[4] Mother Jones,[5] The New York Times,[6] Sierra Magazine,[7] and several books.[8][9]
Her writing has been praised as achieving “a narrative writer’s greatest goal, which is to make a reader keep reading to find out what happened.”[10] Her book, The Quarantine Atlas[11], a compilation of Covid-19 maps and accompanied narratives, has been called a “visual archive of an unprecedented moment of spatial constraint, and the way we lived those limits in our homes, neighborhoods, and cities.”[12]
Bliss is often asked to speak publicly on journalism and urban policy and has been interviewed on television[13] and radio[14], and various public venues including CityLab Bloomberg 2023[15], Boston Public Library[16], Columbia University[17], MIT[18], New York University[19], North American Cartographic Information Society[20], University of Oregon[21], and University of Southern Maine’s Osher Map Library[22]
In 2024 Bloomberg Businessweek published Bliss’s articles detailing Yosemite National Park concessionaire Aramark’s shortcomings[23][24]. Her findings later became the subject of a Bloomberg Originals short[25]
Also in 2024, Bliss, with the staff of Bloomberg Businessweek, was announced as a Pulitzer Prize finalist in Explanatory Writing[26], and a semifinalist for the Harvard Kennedy School's 2024 Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting for her article, The Private Equity Firm Tapping America’s Spring Water, part of a Bloomberg Green series of articles investigating privatization of water.[27][28] The series, Water Grab, was also named a 2023 Best in Business honoree by Arizona State University's Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing.[29]
In 2023, Bliss was an invited Fellow at the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT.[30]
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, Hachette published Bliss’s book, The Quarantine Atlas[31][32]. The book, which began as a series of articles appealing for reader-drawn maps at Bloomberg Media, is comprised of homemade maps and essays illustrating pandemic life throughout the world. [33][34] The underlying series of articles was named an Online Journalism Award finalist by the Online News Association. [35]
In 2022, Bliss was asked to write and host the award-finalist[36][37]Bloomberg Media/iHeart Radio podcast, Bedrock, USA[38], a series focused on extremism in local politics. [39][40]
In 2017 Bliss founded MapLab[41][42], a Bloomberg Media newsletter about maps and geography. MapLab is the subject of a chapter in Tania Rossetto’s and Laura Lo Presti’s 2024 book, The Routledge Handbook of Cartographic Humanities[43]
Bliss is currently an editor and writer at Bloomberg Businessweek.[44]
