Philip Taylor
Phil Taylor is a graduate student and aspiring foreign correspondent at the Medill School of Journalism. He studied journalism and comparative religion at Kalamazoo College and was the Voynovich scholarship winner.
While working on an archaeological excavation in the northern Galilee, Taylor’s excavation team was in range of rocket fire during the Israel and Hezbollah war. This experience became his first news assignment, a feature commentary on wartime kibbutz life that he sent from an internet café to the News-Sentinel, his hometown newspaper in Fort Wayne, Ind. Taylor worked two internships at the Sentinel before beginning classes at Medill. In his first experience in environmental reporting, he covered local pollution control and environmental regulation. Like Hillary Clinton, Taylor is still “agnostic” on nuclear energy and hopes to make it the focal point of his work for News21.
