What I cover
I report on how culture and community shape life across Southern California with a focus on underrepresented voices.
My background
I began in newspapers out of college, covering everything from Central America’s largest dump to post-Katrina Mississippi. I moved into public radio as a host and reporter in Maine before joining LAist in 2012. For my reporting, which has spanned immigration to housing and religion, I’ve earned a regional Edward R. Murrow award and honors from the L.A. chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, the L.A Press Club, the Asian American Journalists Association and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
My goals
I aim to amplify stories that might otherwise go unheard and connect to the people and places that make Southern California such a dynamic home.

I would love to hear your ideas and thoughts about our coverage. Please reach me at jhuang@laist.com.
