About Me

My name is Max Saltman, and I'm a journalist at CNN, covering international news. I've also written for Harper's Magazine and The Drift. I'm originally from Massachusetts but live in Atlanta. I have a BA in History from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.

My Work

Some of my writing includes:

A piece on Cop City for Harper's.

A story about New World screwworm and the cattle trade for CNN.

A dispatch from Alberta on the simmering secession movement there.

A feature on a gathering of Latin American right-wingers and government officials in Miami.

A deep-dive into gun control in Canada.

A micro-review of my favorite podcast, "Talk Easy."

You can keep up with my most recent work for CNN on this page.

Right now, I quite like Annie Proulx's short stories about Wyoming and the novels of Charles Portis. I also enjoy cycling and taking pictures with my wife's 35 mm camera (which she lets me borrow sometimes). Here is a picture I took in Miami recently:
