Ben Cooper, Neighbor

Hello! I’m Benjamin Cooper, hailing from Barkhamsted, Connecticut. A Boston area freelance reporter, I study Journalism and International Relations at Boston University, giving special attention to accuracy in reporting on foreign cultures and the communities that make up Boston.

Currently interning at GlobalPost and JP Patch, I aspire to write, photograph, and better understand ethnic conflict and identity abroad. My writing and photography can be found on my wordpress, benjacobjourno.

In my spare time I enjoy backpacking, photography and friends. I am a connoisseur of fine chocolate chip cookies, and I always appreciate a few good puns and some antics.
