During this episode of the Lincoln Laureates, we’ll hear how one very curious and determined Illinoisan set her compass to seek the facts. Born in Palatine, Carol Marin grew up in a home where no less than 5 newspapers landed on the front porch every day. Independent debate was on the menu at every family meal, and that set Carol on a path toward investigative journalism as a reporter on the CBS Evening News and the network’s legendary program 60 Minutes. She’s also graced some of the most revered television newsrooms in her hometown, including WBBM, WMAQ, and WTTW. Carol Marin is a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is the co-founder of the Center for Journalism Integrity & Excellence at DePaul University. She received the Order of Lincoln Medallion in 2025. Our guest host for this Lincoln Laureates conversation is award-winning broadcast journalist, Chris Bury.
