Nereida Moreno hosts the midday block of programming at LAist. She joined the station in 2023 to launch its first-ever digital equity beat, writing about efforts to connect Angelenos to affordable, high-speed internet as well as the digital skills they need to navigate modern life.
Nereida grew up in Colton and graduated from Cal State Fullerton with degrees in journalism and American Studies. She covered crime and public safety in the Inland Empire before moving to Chicago. Nereida worked at the Chicago Tribune and helped launch a daily news talk show at NPR affiliate WBEZ, where she also covered Chicago Public Schools and youth culture.
