Diep Tran is an arts journalist and editor in NYC. She was previously the features editor of Broadway.com and the senior editor of American Theatre magazine, where she led the creation and launch of AmericanTheatre.org, the first official website for the magazine, building the site from the ground up with a mix of WordPress, self-taught HTML coding, and Googling. She recently helped create VietFactCheck.org, a bilingual fact-checking website, which was founded to combat the fake news and misinformation floating around the Vietnamese-American community. Diep is currently the managing editor. And Viet Fact Check helped some readers convince their parents to vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 Election, so that's nice. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, NBC, Playbill, CNN, Hello Giggles, Time Out New York, Backstage, and Salon, among other publications. She is a judge for the 2020 Obie Awards and is a 2020 Drama Desk Award voter. Diep is currently the industry news writer for Backstage where she covers behind-the-scenes drama in Hollywood and Broadway, and a copy editor for Inc. magazine. Her hustle game is flawless.

She received her master's degree in arts journalism from the Goldring Arts Journalism Program at Syracuse University. In 2015, she was a critic fellow at the National Critics Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.
