Phillip\u2019s virtual talk, \u201cHonesty and Authenticity in Political Journalism,\u201d will explore how journalism moves beyond \u201cobjectivity\u201d to understand the responsibility political journalists have to their audience and communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJournalism has been politicized, causing the public to distrust news organizations,\u201d said Ammina Kothari, director of the Harrington School of Communication and Media. \u201cPhillip\u2019s experience with political reporting and her focus on the importance of honesty and authenticity in news reporting is a great opportunity for our students and the wider community to learn more about political journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillip, 32, joined CNN from The Washington Post in 2017 to cover the administration of President Donald Trump and served as White House correspondent through 2019. During the 2020 presidential campaign, Phillip had a front-row seat for a historic election cycle. She moderated CNN\u2019s Democratic presidential debate in Iowa and co-anchored \u201cElection Night in America,\u201d the network\u2019s election-coverage show, which lasted several days before CNN became the first to declare Joe Biden as the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the election, Phillip anchored the \u201cCNN Special Report: Kamala Harris: Making History,\u201d covering the vice president\u2019s barrier-breaking career and the childhood experiences that strengthened her and shaped her future. And in January, she was named anchor of CNN\u2019s \u201cInside Politics Sunday,\u201d the hour-long, in-depth roundtable show on the week\u2019s most important political stories. She previously was a member of the show\u2019s panel of experts, and had filled in as host for CNN anchor John King \u201985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillip\u2019s work has been applauded by such media outlets as Forbes, The New York Times, InStyle and Harper\u2019s Bazaar, which called her an \u201celection star in her own right\u201d and praised her \u201castute commentary, cool composure, and unfaltering glow.\u201d The Times\u2019 Katherine Rosman dubbed her \u201cnext-gen CNN.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before joining CNN, Phillip, who graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in government, served as a national political reporter for The Post, covering the White House and writing on a wide range of topics related to the Trump administration, including efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and the president’s overseas trip to Poland and Germany for his first G20 meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Post campaign reporter during the 2016 election, she covered Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign. She also covered such national stories as the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting and the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California. Phillip\u2019s career includes stints as a digital reporter on politics at ABC News and reporting on the Obama White House, campaign finance, and lobbying for POLITICO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillip is working on her first book, \u201cThe Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson, Black Political Power, and the Year that Changed America,\u201d scheduled to be released in 2022. The book will be the first major contemporary book on the life and political legacy of Jackson, focusing on his groundbreaking run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
