Scott Yates’s Biography

I believe great journalism is found at the intersection of truth and beauty and serves to enrich the community whose story it tells. I have worked as a photojournalist or multimedia editor in local communities in New Hampshire, Vermont, Virginia and Illinois.
My newspaper work has covered the circle of life since 2007. But my favorite subjects are the arts and social justice. My favorite stories are ones I can tell artfully using technology like 360-degree cameras, 3D scanning, maps, photo sliders, timelines and podcasts, and yes even stills and video. I love it when I get to use these skills in collaboration with dedicated journalists to explore issues in-depth.
I'm currently making the world a more beautiful place as a staff photojournalist at the Rockford Register Star in northern Illinois.
I'm available for editorial assignments and commercial projects upon request.
