Lin Taylor is a cross-platform journalist, editor and producer, most recently at the Thomson Reuters Foundation, where she covered global inequalities and human rights for the Reuters news wire for over a decade.

For most of her career, Lin has covered humanitarian aid, conflicts, displacement/migration, gender issues, digital rights, as well as human trafficking and modern slavery, exposing how policies can harm the lives and rights of the most vulnerable.

Her reporting work has taken her to Spanish goat farms, inside Syrian refugee camps, remote Pacific islands and of course, Australia, where she was born and bred after her family fled Vietnam as refugees in the late 1970s.​ She has been a finalist for several prizes including the European Press Prize, One World Media Award and the Lorenzo Natali Media Prize.

She previously freelanced as a digital journalist and editor with CNN International. Prior to that, she was a multiplatform journalist and editor at SBS Australia, an award-winning national television and radio broadcaster. 

In 2025, she founded 'Journalists of Colour', a free newsletter that profiles a BIPOC journalist each month to hear how they navigate the weird and wonderful world of journalism. 

Lin lives in London these days, but she is most at home on a Sydney beach with her young family.
