Ewa Kern-Jedrychowska

Ewa Kern-Jedrychowska was one of the original reporters for the Feet in 2 Worlds documentary.

After immigrating to the U.S. from Poland in 2001, Ewa got a job at the Polish Daily News, where she covered immigration, politics and community news. She has also freelanced for various media outlets, reporting on ethnic groups in New York, from the Russian speaking community in Brighton Beach to Greeks in Astoria.

Her print and radio stories have appeared on WNYC, PRX’s “The World”, in The New York Times, Feet In 2 Worlds, and the now-shuttered DNAinfo, where she worked for six year covering Queens.

She earned her master’s degree in Anthropology in 2009 from Hunter College, writing her thesis on gentrification in Greenpoint.

Among the journalism prizes she has won is the New America Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for “Polish Immigrants in a Changing City,” a series of radio pieces produced for WNYC.

Originally from Warsaw, Ewa currently lives in Queens and works for the borough’s public library system.
