Carson Walker’s Biography

I grew up in Iowa and worked my first journalism job in my teens as a newspaper carrier for The Des Moines Register. I was a radio announcer and reporter while studying journalism and political science at Colorado State University. I began my career as a reporter, photojournalist, producer and anchor at KDLT-TV in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where I also served as news director after six years as a reporter at the Argus Leader, the local Gannett-owned paper. My experience includes 17 years at The Associated Press as a writer, broadcast editor and news editor in South Dakota as well as an editor and supervisor on the national filing desk in Phoenix. I also held communications and video positions at the University of South Dakota and Sanford Health in Sioux Falls, where I launched and managed a crowdsourcing platform for the innovations team.
