Yilun Cheng

Immigration Reporter, The Columbus Dispatch

Yilun Cheng reports for The Columbus Dispatch, examining the challenges facing central Ohio’s growing immigrant and refugee communities. Before joining The Dispatch, Cheng wrote for Slate, the Chicago Reader, South Side Weekly and Borderless Magazine about immigration and racial equity topics, including law enforcement’s anti-immigrant policies, Chicago’s housing crisis in Chinatown, racial disparity in Illinois’ vaccine rollout and COVID-19’s impact on Latino immigrants. Cheng grew up in Tianjin, China. Having studied political science as an undergrad at the University of California, Berkeley and as a grad student at Columbia University, she is attentive to the complex and nuanced ways that national policies impact the lives of local residents. During her graduate studies at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, Cheng worked with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Debbie Cenziper of The Washington Post on two projects focusing on immigration.
