Bazelon Leadership 21

Rob MacKay

Rob MacKay has been in the journalism field for about 10 years. He currently edits three legal publications that inform on civil court cases for VerdictSearch, a division of American Lawyer Media Inc. Before that, he was an award-winning reporter, editor and photographer for a community newspaper in New York City.

In earlier times, Rob taught English as a second language, lived in Honduras as a Peace Corps volunteer and worked for a nonprofit that defends the workplace rights of Spanish-speaking immigrants. He speaks fluent Spanish.

Rob is particularly excited to participate in Leadership 21 activities because mental health issues have affected both sides of his family. He also believes strongly in the entity’s mission and wishes that he had known about it sooner.

Married with two young daughters, Rob lives in Queens, NY, where spends his scant free time placating his soccer obsession.
