Questen Inghram Bio

Questen Inghram is a journalist currently in central Washington. 

​

He grew up surrounded by alfalfa and wheat fields in rural Montana, spending his childhood looking for bugs, reading books and bird hunting. His first job out of high school was as a reporter for his local weekly newspaper. That experience nudged him to major in journalism at Western Washington University, where he wrote for and edited student publications and was a radio DJ. 

​

In 2023, at the Columbia Publishing Course at Columbia University, he studied the media landscape from book publishing to magazine and digital publishing. Throughout the workshop, he learned from mentors who work at publications such as Forbes, Conde Nast, and more.

​

He worked variously as a wildland firefighter and bookseller before becoming a part of the inaugural class of Washington State University Murrow News Fellows, where he is embedded with the Yakima Herald-Republic and El Sol de Yakima in Yakima, Washington. 

​

In this position, his stories frequently center on water management and drought, agriculture, immigration, elections, local government and feature profiles.
