Laura D. Testino

I’m an education reporter in Memphis for Chalkbeat Tennessee. My start in the city began at at The Commercial Appeal, a USA Today Network paper, where I reported on education and other general news for nearly four years. 

Previously, I worked in New Orleans as a life and culture reporter for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and in New York City as a digital editor for This Old House magazine.

I’m partial to stories in and about the South.

Also: “Intrepid” and “precise” in Nieman Storyboard. “A reporter … asking questions” in The New Yorker. “Prominently (noting) the paucity of further details” in the Columbia Journalism Review.
