Elizabeth Koh

Elizabeth Koh is an investigative reporter at The Boston Globe, writing about health care, social services and government accountability.

Since joining the paper in 2021, her reporting has examined gaps in Massachusetts' child welfare system and revealed abuse and mismanagement at the state's agency for blind and visually impaired people. She was also on the team behind the Globe's investigative podcast on the Charles Stuart case, which won a 2024 IRE award for longform audio journalism and a Dart Center award.

She was previously a foreign correspondent in Seoul for The Wall Street Journal — covering technology and the coronavirus pandemic — and part of a team there named a Pulitzer Prize finalist in National Reporting for their coverage of nursing homes dealing with Covid-19. She also spent three years at The Miami Herald, where her reporting on the Florida Legislature helped change state laws and trigger multiple investigations into misspending at a major domestic violence nonprofit.

Born and raised in Southern California, she graduated from Brown University with a degree in the history of science.
