Baltimore Beat is proud to welcome Report for America corps member Kori Skillman to our team as part of our partnership with Report for America.
Skillman will report on justice and accountability. That means she will investigate policing, incarceration, and civil rights in Baltimore City. Skillman will begin her assignment in July.
“We know that a lot of the news about this incredibly vital subject matter is driven by fear rather than facts,” said Baltimore Beat Editor-in-Chief Lisa Snowden. “Skillman comes to us with a wealth of reporting experience under her belt. We know she’ll do a great job bringing helpful and useful information to our audience.”
Report for America is a national service program that places talented emerging journalists in local newsrooms to report on under-covered topics and communities across the United States and its territories.
“We are pleased to partner with our host newsrooms to shed light on under-covered topics and communities, and the 2025 corps member cohort brings deep talent and diverse experiences to do just that,” said Earl Johnson, vice president of recruitment and alumni engagement at Report for America. “We intentionally invite journalists from diverse backgrounds to consider Report for America not only as their next professional opportunity, but for the chance to make a profound and lasting community impact.”
