Jennifer Peebles is a data-reporting specialist and investigative journalist with 25 years’ experience helping newsrooms turn public records and messy datasets into impactful accountability reporting. At The Atlanta Journal-Constitution she leads FOIA strategy, data acquisition and analysis that power major investigations—work that contributed to award-winning series on housing safety and police use of force. She pairs deep knowledge of freedom-of-information law with technical skills in data cleaning, GIS and database building to extract stories from both paper records and machine-readable dumps. Formerly a digital and data editor in Washington and a founder of a nonprofit watchdog outlet in Texas, she blends newsroom leadership with hands-on scraping, mapping and visualization. Off the clock she’s the slowest banjo picker east of the Mississippi and an obsessive cornbread-maker, a reminder that meticulous, persistent work pays off both in the kitchen and in public records.
