Biography
Lynne Perri is a journalist-in-residence and senior professorial lecturer at American University. She is also the interim executive editor of the Investigative Reporting Workshop, a nonprofit, editorially independent newsroom based at AU. IRW partners with legacy media and also works with smaller nonprofit media outlets. She teaches reporting, visual journalism and journalism ethics, and a history of U.S. investigative journalism. She co-created classes to cover national and state elections, and has traveled to New Hampshire with students every four years since 2008 to cover the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, where her students have reported for major news outlets. She was awarded Outstanding Service to the University Community for 2020 and also received the School of Communication's 2020 Award for Inclusive Excellence. Before joining American University, she worked as a reporter and editor at several newspapers, including the Tallahassee Democrat and The Tampa Tribune. She later immersed herself in visual journalism as a deputy managing editor for Graphics and Photography at USA TODAY, where she also wrote features and book reviews. She has been an adjunct professor at Syracuse, Northwestern, the University of Maryland and the University of South Florida, and a visiting lecturer at the University of Iowa, Ohio University and the University of Nebraska. She has led workshops for The Washington Post, the Knight Center for International Journalists, the American Press Institute and the Society for News Design.
