Taylor Swaak is The 74‘s editorial fellow. She most recently was a breaking news reporter at Newsweek, where she covered education news ranging from analysis of Betsy DeVos’ first year to allegations that school shootings are linked to bullying. Taylor‘s byline has also appeared in other national and local outlets, such as the Hartford Courant, Newsday and on CNN.com. She previously focused on higher education as a staff writer and news editor at The Diamondback, the University of Maryland’s student newspaper. One enterprise piece during her three-year tenure there that she’s particularly proud of is a feature chronicling sexual assault survivors’ struggles to recover on campus.
