Amir Vera
My background: I’ve lived in Los Angeles since 2023. I have more than a decade of experience covering local, national and international news for CNN at the headquarters in Atlanta and the Los Angeles bureau. I got my start covering local news in Virginia.
What I do: I coordinate coverage for the city of Inglewood and the community of South LA. On a daily basis, I’m looking at what stories are most important for the residents of these localities and how to tell those stories across multiple platforms.
Why LA?: The museums, the outdoors and the distinct sense of community in each neighborhood.
The best way to contact me: My email is amir@thelalocal.org.
