Naomi Harris – Journalist & Writer

Content Manager and Trainer: In my current role as Content Manager for the Education Writers Association, I lead professional development and networking initiatives to support our over 2,000 membership body of education reporters. I organize national workshops and seminars on leading issues in higher education, such as AI on campuses, state and federal policies, student protest and faculty governance. In my work, I cultivate and maintain relationships with professors, communications directors, college administrators and students at various universities like The University of Pennsylvania, Howard University, Morgan State University and Michigan State.

Journalist and Storyteller: From a very young age, I kept asking my parents questions. It reached the point that they created a “3 Questions a Day” rule to try and calm down my talkative nature. But my natural curiosity about the world around me only grew. I have always pursued that curiosity and created an expansive journalism career. For nearly 10 years, I have covered education, culture and community. I’ve had the privilege to cover higher education stories at the local level, as well as publish enterprise stories in The Washington Post and Associated Press. As a trained reporter, I know how to search for vital stories, elevate underreported voices and write nuanced reports. Check out my articles!
