Goldie Taylor is a veteran journalist, cable news political analyst and human rights activist. Currently a contributing editor at The Daily Beast, where she writes about national politics and social justice issues, Taylor has been a working journalist for over thirty-five years. She got her start as a staff writer at the Atlanta Journal Constitution and as a desk assistant with CBS News Atlanta. The former television news and communications executive has been featured on nearly every major network—including NBC News, MSNBC, ABC News, BBC, BET News, SkyNews, CNN and HLN—and she has been a guest on programs such as HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, The Dr. Phil Show, The Steve Harvey Show, Tom Joyner Morning Show, and Good Morning America. Taylor is a frequent guest on a full host of local and national radio shows, including NPR’s All Things Considered, 1A and Barbershop, and has been regularly published in print and digital publications.

In November 2015, Taylor penned the cover story for Ebony Magazine about the legacy of comedic icon Bill Cosby and made a cameo appearance on BET’s Being Mary Jane. She was a contributing producer for “CNN Presents: The Atlanta Child Murders” and has been an executive consultant to the presidents of both NBC News and CNN Worldwide. A sought-after public speaker, Taylor has addressed audiences at—among others—the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, Harvard University, Morehouse College, Emory School of Law, Princeton University, Duke School of Law, National Association of Black Journalists, University of Missouri School of Journalism and The King Center. A somewhat less than devoted runner, late blooming golf, and self-professed connoisseur of mediocre whiskey, Taylor has three grown children and three grandchildren. She lives in Boston where she is senior vice president and chief communications and marketing officer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. MORE: goldietaylor.com
