Matthew Reagan
My background: I’m a journalist with a passion for covering how politics affects people in the city of Los Angeles. Prior to joining The LA Local, I spent five years at CalMatters building the College Journalism Network, a fellowship program for California college journalists. I started my career covering communities in Northeast LA and founded the NELA Neighborhood Reporting Partnership at Occidental College in 2020 which continues to operate today in collaboration with The Eastsider.
What I do: I am the editor of the LA Documenters, a program where I train and pay LA residents to put public meetings on the record so that locals, advocates and journalists can keep their government accountable, accessible and transparent.
Why LA?: Family, friends, food, football, futbol.
