Detroit bred. Chicago trained.

Tatiana Walk-Morris is a Chicago-based independent journalist and content writer. She is one of the Summer 2023 recipients of the McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism at the City University of New York. During the fellowship, she will investigate the impact of prison payments and communications companies on prisoners and their loved ones. Her reporting interests range across various beats from business and tech to health and culture, with a bit of investigative reporting mixed in. But seriously, she’s a persistent, resourceful journalist who aims to cut through the noise and give people the information they truly need. Companies also commission her to spruce up their current content and craft fresh, captivating content to attract leads.

She has been featured in Columbia College Chicago's Journalism blog, the True Colors newsletter and has spoken at DePaul University. She also runs The Freelance Beat, a blog for freelance journalists, and a Patreon newsletter featuring journalism jobs and gigs as well as successful pitches.

Before earning her bachelor's degree in multimedia journalism at Columbia College Chicago, she grew up in Detroit, living in the city for much of life before relocating to the nearby suburbs as a teenager. As a child, books and magazines were her portal into new worlds, so younger Tatiana would probably think it’s pretty cool that she became a full-time writer.
