Aspiring Journalists Tour The Boston Globe Newsroom

By Hannah Garcia September 30, 2025

The Upper School’s official newspaper, The Vanguard, got a behind-the-scenes look at a Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom at The Boston Globe this week. The field trip included a view into staff meetings, a tour of the newsroom, and a surprise appearance from two BB&N alumni and editors at the paper, Tim Logan ’97 and Anna Kushment ’90.

Students got to experience part of an editor’s daily life, including sitting in on their morning meeting, during which the professionals decide what to cover for the day. They also got to tour the newsroom, an integral part of any publication studio.

While The Globe covers national and international news, it also reports on local news. Cristina Silva, the managing editor of Local News, met with the students to discuss her job and answer questions about journalism. Along the tour, the group ran into two BB&N alumni who shared more insight and some Knight spirit with the students.

Thank you to the staff at The Globe for hosting and inspiring these young journalists!
