Timeline
In 2011, McKinley returned to New York City and became the Times pop music reporter and general arts coverage.
On March 8, 2011, The New York Times published an article by McKinley on the rape of an eleven-year-old girl in the East Texas town of Cleveland. The story prompted outrage, not only because of the crime involved - a gang rape perpetrated by 18 boys and men - but also because of criticism over how McKinley framed the piece: relying heavily on quotes from individuals who blamed the victim, scant attention to reporting details on the boys and men involved, and an overemphasis on the impoverished environment where the assault occurred.
On March 11, 2011, The New York Times public editor Arthur R. Brisbane agreed that the piece lacked critical balance by relying heavily on quotes from individuals who expressed concern for the perpetrators, as well as detailing the victim's appearance. McKinley and The New York Times, Brisbane determined, created an impression that the victim "had it coming". Brisbane never interviewed McKinley, nor his editors, before writing his column.
On March 29, 2011, the Times published a second article by McKinley and Erica Goode that delved more deeply into the criminal backgrounds of many of the alleged rapists as well as the family of the victim which left no doubt the girl was the victim of a horrendous crime.
From 2009 to 2011, McKinley was Houston bureau chief. He covered events such as the Fort Hood shootings, Hurricane Ike and the British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf.
From 2004 to 2008, McKinley was Mexico City correspondent, where he covered the election of President Felipe Calderón and his government’s war against drug cartels.
He returned to New York in 1999, working as an investigative journalist in the Sports Department. From 2000 to 2004, McKinley was Albany bureau chief for The Times, where he covered New York Governor George Pataki's administration, the state budget and state legislative items.
From 1996 to 1999, McKinley was Nairobi bureau chief for The New York Times, where he covered the return of Rwandan refugees after the genocide, the fall of Mobutu, the rise of Laurent Kabila in the former Zaire, and the bombing of U.S. embassies. He was a Miami correspondent for a short time.
In late 1986, McKinley started at The New York Times as a copyboy eventually working his way up to being a reporter. He covered the police department as a Metro cop reporter and was a City Hall reporter, and covered the Federal courts in Manhattan.
In 1984, McKinley earned a B.A. in English literature from Cornell University. In 1986, he received an M.A. from University of Missouri School of Journalism.
McKinley began his career in journalism while still in college, working for local radio stations in Ithaca and stringing for The Syracuse Post Standard from 1982 to 1985.
