Pamela Kruger is an accomplished communications strategist, editor and writer who is experienced in all platforms.

She began her career as a daily newspaper reporter, branched out into magazines and web sites and later, began doing communications work. She has always divided her time between editing/managing and writing.  As a journalist, she has been a contributing editor, writer, and content strategist under contract at many national media organizations, including CBS Interactive, The New York Times (Sunday business), LifetimeTV.com, Fortune Small Business, Good Housekeeping, Parenting, Fast Company, Time Inc., and Child.  She has conceived, assigned, and edited features, blogs, essays, columns, investigative projects, channels and special sections on a range of topics, from innovation and entrepreneurship to health, higher education and environmental issues.

As a writer, she has relished digging up trends. She has profiled a Berkeley, California psychologist who treats large numbers of women “betrayed by work,” was among the first to report on the rise of childhood allergies and the backlash it prompted, and has exposed the growing number of middle class and affluent parents who failed to save for their children’s college educations—with disastrous results. She has been an editor of and contributor to several books, from a BusinessWeek book series to a much-praised collection of personal essays, A Love Like No Other: Stories from Adoptive Parents, a book that Kruger co-edited with fellow journalist Jill Smolowe.

In late 2007, Pamela did her first communications consulting to a social justice, non-profit group and discovered she loved the work. Since then, she has launched blogs, wrote and co-produced a video, wrote press materials, ghost-wrote op-eds, devised press and social media strategy and wrote press packets for a variety of clients.

She has been the recipient of the University of Maryland Family and Child Policy Fellowship (2005), the Casey Journalism Center for Family and Child Fellowship (2001), and a 2006 New York Times Company Foundation Fellowship. Her work has received an Exceptional Merit Media Award and an Association for Education Publishers’ Distinguished Achievement Award.

Kruger has taught magazine and feature writing at New York University and the New School for Social Research, as well as been a guest lecturer at other schools. Currently, she is an adjunct professor at New York University, where she handles careers/internships advising for the graduate Business and Economic Reporting Program. She also teaches an online writing course at Mediabistro. She has BA degrees in English and Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania and an MA degree in English from Columbia University.
