2025 LONGWORTH MEDIA FELLOW, GRANTEE

He joined PublicSource after a stint as news editor for Pittsburgh City Paper. Originally from Manchester, England, Wiggan studied music in college and enjoyed some brief success drumming in rock bands before realizing his incessant curiosity outshone his rhythmic skills—prompting a return to school, a transatlantic move, and ultimately a career in journalism.
