**Amber Ferguson has joined the Features department of The Washington Post** as a rapid response culture reporter, covering trends and news through both text and video.

According to [The Post,](https://www.washingtonpost.com/pr/2025/08/25/amber-ferguson-joins-features-department-rapid-response-culture-reporter/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) Ferguson was most recently a senior video journalist on the General Assignment desk, where she produced a story and video about couples getting married next door to Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial; traveled on Vice President Kamala Harris’s swing state tour; led production of a live election night show from Howard University; and reported outside of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s sex trafficking trial. Since joining The Post in 2017 from HuffPost, she has lent her reporting and video skills to a variety of teams, including Morning Mix and Metro. Her first story and video in Features dug into the rise of the $6k sorority rush consultant. Amber’s reporting often begins in overlooked corners of the internet: group chats, niche online communities or emerging subcultures.

In 2022, she was awarded a Gracie Award from the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation.

Ferguson, states The Post, grew up as a military brat and earned her associate degree from Prince George’s Community College before graduating from the University of Maryland at College Park with a bachelor’s in history and a minor in U.S. Latino/a Studies.
