AZCIR welcomes investigative reporting fellow Sam Kmack

Friends of AZCIR, I’m pleased to introduce you to AZCIR’s newest staff member, Sam Kmack, who started this week as a full time investigative reporter. He’s a graduate from the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California, where he most recently served as an editor for the university’s student-lead newsroom, Annenberg Media. In 2019 he worked on The Beacon Project, USC’s award-winning student investigative reporting team, covering topics such as the admissions scandal and inequities in disability accommodations for the SAT.  SAM KMACK | AZCIR Twitter: @KmackSam Instagram: kmacksam Email: sam.kmack@azcir.org Phone: 602.730.2895 Kmack joins AZCIR for a yearlong fellowship funded in part by the Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship, a program launched in 2019 to help fund and train emerging journalists on issues such as the First Amendment and media ethics.  I’m thrilled to have Sam join our staff and hope you’ll share in my excitement by welcoming him to AZCIR. Since he’s also new to our state, I hope you’ll send him a note to say hello, share a tip or follow him on social media. Thanks, as always, for following our work. Stay safe and healthy. Cheers, Brandon Quester Executive Director and Editor Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting SUPPORT AZCIR Share Tweet Visit
