Biography
Graham Rayman is a Staff Writer and Investigative Journalist for The Village Voice.
Recognition for his investigative reporting includes a National Council on Crime and Delinquency/Prevention for a Safer Society Award, an AAN AltWeekly Award, and a National Council on Crime and Delinquency/Prevention for a Safer Society Award.
A top-shelf investigative reporter, Rayman broke The NYPD Tapes story wide open—which included everything from cops harassing other cops, illegal stop-and-frisks, and the downgraded of reported crimes—after other news outlets passed on the story and then piggybacked on his work. Rayman is a nose-to-the-grindstone, fearless, old-school talent.
