AN ABOVE AVERAGE STORYTELLER

Lindsey McGinnis is a journalist from Greater Boston with experience in print and radio. She currently serves as Asia Editor for The Christian Science Monitor, an award-winning publication based in Boston. 

Before joining the Monitor’s international desk, Lindsey got her start in local journalism, doing a little bit of everything. As an editorial intern for Wicked Local, she covered local selectmen meetings for the Patriot Ledger and produced several front-page stories for weekly newspapers across southern Massachusetts. During a stint at New England Public Radio in Springfield, MA, she covered everything from police body cameras to millimeter wave technology. After joining the Monitor, she continued reporting on New England history, society, and culture, but for a national audience. She has also dabbled in visual storytelling, including photography and data visualization.
