About

Corinne Boyer accepting the 2017 Tom Parker Excellence in Media Award from Lines for Life in Portland, Oregon.

 

Hello, my name is Corinne Boyer.

I'm a freelance journalist. My work has appeared in the New York Times and on NPR, Here & Now and on NPR affiliates across Kentucky, Kansas and Oregon. For a little over two years, I reported on health for the Ohio Valley ReSource and then reported on eastern Kentucky flooding recovery for WEKU. Previously, I lived in western Kansas and covered agriculture, meatpacking plants and immigration for the Kansas News Service at High Plains Public Radio. My work has also appeared in Eugene Weekly, The Source Weekly, Lane Monthly magazine and the Charleston City Paper. My reporting has earned a Green Eyeshade Award, four Kentucky Impact Broadcast Awards, two Kansas Association of Broadcasters awards and the Tom Parker Excellence in Media Award. I was one of 10 national recipients of the Journalism and Women Symposium Emerging Journalist Fellows in 2017. Before becoming a journalist, I worked for a law firm in Charleston, SC, taught English in South Korea and checked coats as a restaurant hostess on Upper East Side.
