Justin Murphy
Education Reporter
I cover education in the Rochester area, with an emphasis on the Rochester City School District. I've worked at the Democrat and Chronicle since 2012 and before that was a reporter for The Citizen in Auburn, New York. I grew up in Penfield and attended the University of Chicago and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. I live with my wife and children in the Cobbs Hill neighborhood.
