Luiza Vasiliu is a journalist from Romania.
In 2016 she co-founded Scena9, a platform for the young generation of artists and thinkers. In the meantime, she discovered the thrill of investigative journalism. She published a series about one of the most famous Romanian doctors, who performed unauthorized experimental procedures which killed children or left them crippled. This investigation was a finalist for the European Science Writer of The Year Award.
She coordinated Catedra de Abuz (The Chair of Abuse), a journalism project investigating abuse and harassment in Romanian schools and universities. She wrote about astrophysicists studying micro black holes, a communism dissident setting Stalin’s statue on fire, the Tate brothers and their human trafficking victims in Romania, and more recently, about online disinformation and the far right.
In the fall of 2025, she received the Voices of Women Journalism Award, dedicated to Romanian women journalists who document issues related to women’s rights.
