Julie McMahon

I cover public affairs, courts, government and education for Syracuse.com and The Post-Standard.

After working in legal news trade publications in Boston and New York City, I began as a cops reporter on the breaking news team in Syracuse, then made the switch to the education beat for 2 1/2 years. For my crime coverage, I was recognized as the New York State Associated Press Young Journalist of the Year in 2014.

I’m a native Upstate New Yorker. I live in Syracuse, where I earned my master’s degree in journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
