Reed is currently a visiting lecturer at the University of Illinois at Chicago. [10] She was previously an assistant professor of journalism at Northern Michigan University and its adviser to NMU's student newspaper The North Wind for the 2014-15 academic year. However, Reed was voted out of the position as the adviser at the end of the school year by the newspaper's board of directors, for what Reed claimed was retaliation on the investigative journalism she was teaching her students. Reed brought the board members to federal court in June of 2015, but she later pulled out from the case when the judge denied a preliminary injunction that would have reinstated her as adviser.
