Cameron Oakes

Investigative Reporter

Hi! I’m Cameron – a journalist specializing in investigations and long-form enterprise reporting.

I cover the criminal justice system, healthcare, and military and veterans affairs. And I’m passionate about improving public records access. My work has appeared in NPR, NBC News, MSNBC, The Choice on Peacock, The Interlude Magazine, Haaretz English, Latin America News Dispatch and others.

I hold a master’s degree in investigative journalism, with honors, from Columbia Journalism School. I previously attended New York University, where I earned a degree in journalism and sociology.

I’m currently open to freelance and full-time assignments. Check out my previous reporting, and feel free to shoot me a message with questions or to learn more about my availability. And as always, I’m open to receiving tips, FOIA ideas, and documents. Reach out via the contact form or Twitter for more information about how to contact me securely.
