Claudia Koerner
My background: I worked as a reporter and editor in the LA offices of BuzzFeed News and HuffPost for 10 years, covering breaking news, internet culture, criminal justice and more. Before that, I covered breaking news and communities in Orange County.
What I do: I work to plan coverage with our neighborhood news teams in Koreatown, Pico Union and Westlake, Boyle Heights and Inglewood and South LA. We aim to highlight the people who live in these communities and examine the issues affecting their lives, like housing, transportation and immigration. We also hold accountable local institutions, like city governments, law enforcement and schools.
Why LA?: Food, music, nature: Whatever you love, LA has the best.
