About Jacqueline Marino

Jacqueline Marino joined the journalism faculty of Kent State University in 2006 after more than a decade of writing nonfiction stories and essays for magazines, newspapers and alternative newsweeklies. She is a former associate editor of Cleveland Magazine and the author of the book “White Coats: Three Journeys through an American Medical School” (Kent State University Press, 2012), which won a silver “IPPY” in the 2013 Independent Publisher Book Awards contest. In 2015, she co-edited “Car Bombs to Cookie Tables: The Youngstown Anthology,” the fourth in a nationally recognized series of books featuring the essays, journalism and poetry of Rust Belt writers.

In 2002, she earned a master’s degree from The Writing Seminars at The Johns Hopkins University. Her work has appeared in The Christian Science Monitor, The Plain Dealer, and the literary journal River Teeth, among other publications. In addition to her journalistic writing, Marino also researches the digital evolution of magazines and the narrative form. As a Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute Research Scholar in 2015-16, she will be studying audience reception to digital long-form journalism. She teaches classes in magazine publishing and feature writing, as well as courses that require journalists, designers and programmers to work together on semester-long projects. One of these courses, Web Programming for Multimedia Journalism, is co-taught with the School of Digital Sciences each spring. Another, Mobile Publishing, will be taught for the first time in Spring 2014. She also advises The Burr, a national award-winning, independent student magazine.
