Taylor Henry is an American journalist and a veteran overseas correspondent of Cable News Network (CNN). He is the recipient of Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award for the year 2008^[1].

Early life and Education

Henry was born in Mississippi in 1957. His father John R. Henry was a World War II correspondent for the International News Service. He grew as a catholic in a heavily protestant city. As a child, he dreamed to become a priest or a radio-television reporter. Henry earned a double major Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and English from Spring Hill College before getting his Master’s degree in Mass communication from the University of Alabama. At the age of 59, Henry earned Juris Doctorate at the David A. Clarke School of Law at the University of the District of Columbia^[2].

Professional Career

Henry began his journalistic career right after graduating in 1979, with the help of Spring Hill’s President at that time, Father Paul Smallwood Tipton, S.J.. At the beginning of his career, he worked for television affiliates of CBS, before joining CNN in 1986. He was the only American television reporter who was allowed on the U.S. Navy warship in 1988, as a part of The Pentagon Press Pool covering the Operation Praying Mantis. He was a war correspondent in the Gulf War of 1991.

During his time at WDSU-TV, Henry led an investigation that exposed a cover-up that involved the Louisiana National Guard. The National Guard personnel were sent to Monroe, Louisiana to protect evacuated stores after Hurricane Katrina, where they looted businesses and stole guns and jewelry. The personnel were caught and a secret court-martial took place and they were allowed to resign without public knowledge. In 1996, Henry conducted a four-month investigation on the matter, which was aired as a television-series on KNOE-TV. The series of events shook the National Guard. Henry was awarded the Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award in 2008 for his investigation. Henry continued to work in journalism as a reporter and producer for agencies around Louisiana. He currently lives in Washington, D.C. and works as the Director of Public Affairs and Media Relations at the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA.
