Julian Vane is a sharp-witted investigative reporter covering the high-density politics and rapid development of the Hudson County "Gold Coast." For the Hudson Reporter, Julian navigates the complex world of urban gentrification, waterfront zoning battles, and the ever-shifting landscape of Jersey City and Hoboken’s municipal governments.
A graduate of New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, Julian moved across the Hudson over ten years ago and never looked back. He has won multiple awards for his deep dives into local campaign finance and housing equity. Julian treats the city like a living organism, constantly documenting its growth and its growing pains. Off the clock, he is a dedicated jazz enthusiast and can be found in the back of a downtown Jersey City lounge or hunting for rare vinyl in Hoboken’s independent record shops.
