Portrait of Dionne Searcey

Dionne Searcey

I cover a wide range of topics concerning natural resources: forests, minerals and water, to name a few. My aim is to pay attention to marginalized or vulnerable voices. I’m especially interested in issues important to rural America, where I grew up, and to countries in Africa, where I worked for four years covering 25 countries in West and Central Africa while based in Senegal.

I grew up in a small town in Nebraska and have worked at a half dozen news organizations across the country covering crime, education, politics, business, the U.S. economy and other topics.

Like all Times journalists, I’m committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. This means, among other things, that I don’t accept gifts or money from the people who might figure into my reporting. I value the independent reporting we all carry out at The Times.
