LaMonica Peters

Journalist | Host | Educator | Speaker 
Award-winning storyteller amplifying underrepresented voices.

From anchoring morning announcements at Crenshaw High in Los Angeles to reporting on national platforms like CNN, CBS, ABC News Live, & Fox Live NOW, my journey has always centered around community and truth-telling.

After earning my B.A. in Communication Studies from UCLA, I started in radio at KJLH-FM and KPFK-FM, hosting The Peters Poll to spark public dialogue. That spirit of curiosity and connection has taken me across the country—from Mississippi, where I earned a Mississippi AP Award for Public Affairs, to Buffalo, where I contributed to a Public Service series that received a New York State AP Award.

My reporting has aired in San Diego, Seattle, Buffalo and most recently in the San Francisco Bay Area at KTVU Fox 2, where I covered everything from elections, homelessness, technology to environmental crises. Throughout, I’ve remained committed to people-first journalism—centered on real lives, real voices, and real impact.

In 2025, I joined community-focused, news organization The LA Local as a Reporter, covering Inglewood and South LA. I also became the host of California and Me, a public affairs program airing on MeTV that highlights nonprofit organizations based in Los Angeles. In February 2026, I launched the Black LA Uncovered podcast, where I uncover "the people, places and stories that shape the SOUL of Los Angeles." You can also find the show on YouTube.
 
I’m also proud to teach a broadcast writing journalism course at Palomar College, helping students develop the skills and integrity required for a career in news media today.
