Meet Kendall Taggart '09, Center for Investigative Reporting

Kendall Taggart, Anthropology major and class of ’09, is a now a reporter for the Center for Investigative Reporting. She offers a few words of experience and insight from her travels from ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó into the world of investigative journalism. She demonstrates that doggedness and determination can never be overvalued in the pursuit of your ambitions.

 M: Tell me about your time at ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó- how did ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó set you up to pursue a career in investigative journalism?

 K: I loved ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó. It sets you up well to think. Not so much to get a job though, I think. I didn’t leave ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó having anything to show for my journalism ability. Actually though, I think ÈËÆÞÓÕ»óies are well set up, they just don’t know it. They’ve learned critical thinking, how to take on a problem and know how to solve it. With journalism, you’re rarely the expert. You have to rely on others, and know what’s BS and what’s not.
