In addition to my journalism experience, my studies at Texas State focused on Chinese and Latin American history as well as military history. My research interests tend to overlap through these fields, and I often use my media experience to intertwine primary sources and accounts from newspapers and cartoons in my research. Click the link below to check out some of my published research, including the influence of political cartoons and U.S.-Japan relations.

As I continue my career in the news industry, I plan to use the knowledge and experience my history degree has given me as I believe journalists cannot report on the present without understanding the past. 

Hi! My name is Jacquelyn Burrer, and I am local reporter with The Dallas Morning News. As a service journalism reporter, I’ll be focused on covering stories that provide practical information and help North Texans navigate everyday life.

I graduated from Texas State University with a dual degree in journalism and history. I have previously reported for Community Impact in Austin, Texas, and Dallas, Texas; The University Star in San Marcos, Texas; and The Well News in Washington, D.C.
