Experienced Journalist Matt McKinney Joins SCG

Matt comes to SCG with nearly a decade of daily journalism at top-notch outlets throughout the country, but his passion for storytelling dates back to the first grade, when he launched a homemade weekly newspaper using crayons and his family’s computer scanner.

A lot has changed since then, but that love for taking on new challenges and telling stories with heart remains as strong as ever. Immediately prior to joining SCG, Matt worked on the projects and education teams at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where he contributed to coverage that won a Pulitzer Prize in breaking news in 2019.

A graduate of Knox College in Illinois and Northwestern University’s journalism graduate school, he's learned stories come in all shapes and sizes, if you know where to find them. That means building strong relationships, asking smart questions and always leaning into new challenges.

He looks forward to doing that on behalf of clients here at SCG.
