About Nick L.

My name is Nick Loomis and I am based in West Africa. As a video journalist, my subject matter is most often dictated by whether or not it lends itself to the medium (not everything is a video story). That criterion satisfied, I enjoy doing stories related to the environment, economic development, social (in)justice and, above all, religion - with which this region is teeming.
