Haley Kennington

Haley is an investigative journalist, freelance writer, researcher and editor. Before journalism she managed a gym and worked as a personal trainer — a stretch of life she still writes about.

She was Research Director and Story Editor on The Plot Against the President, and Research Director and Archival Editor on What Is a Woman? Behind the scenes she also works with authors on research, editing, transcription and ghostwriting.

Her reporting runs from tech giants and defense spending to the “zombie drug” tranq, school-library books and children’s media. In her own newsletter, the Kennington Report, she turns to gratitude, memory and finding joy in ordinary days.
