Education beat reporter

Alecia Taylor

Alecia Taylor covers education for the Prince William Times. Her journalism journey began in high school as a host on Kansas City’s Hot 103 Jamz radio show, Generation Rap. Since then, Taylor has reported on local government at the Kansas City Star. She's also interned at The Miami Herald, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Baltimore Sun, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In 2023, she was named the White House Correspondents’ Harry S. McAlpin Scholar. Taylor is passionate about closing the media gap in news deserts and amplifying underrepresented Black and brown voices. When she isn’t writing, she’s reading a sappy romance book.
