Jenn Baughman
What I cover
I am the Director of Programming at LAist and an annoying voice of eternal optimism in the newsroom.
My background
I was born and raised in Southern California and graduated from the same high school as my parents. While I know Los Angeles is a sprawling metropolis, it's also my hometown, the place where I run into folks I grew up with when I am at the grocery store. I've had the same dentist for 35-plus years!
I have been with LAist since 2008. I bring experience from previous roles at Clear Channel and Infinity Broadcasting in Los Angeles.
My goals
My goal is for LAist to meet you where you are. Whether you tune in to LAist 89.3 or one of our repeater stations throughout California, listen on the stream or app, are an LAist.com reader, a subscriber of one of our great newsletters or fantastic podcasts, follow us on social media or visit our in-person events, I want to make sure you are getting the information you need, when you need it. I am proud of the work our newsroom does. When I am not thinking about how to spread the news about our great local, national and international reporting you can find me doing pottery, reading a book or walking/hiking/running with friends.
