Lee Romney
Reporter/Producer
Lee Romney spent 23 years as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, developing an expertise in mental health, immigration, criminal justice reform, and Native American tribal lands. She took a buyout in late 2015 to freelance in-depth projects close to her heart and learn audio storytelling. Lee is now an independent journalist based in Oakland, producing in-depth sound-rich features. Her print work has appeared in The Guardian, EdSource and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting. Her award-winning radio pieces have aired on Radiolab, KQED's The California Report Magazine, Making Conatact and NPR's Here & Now. Her journalism has always brought underrepresented voices to light, and Lee believes radio is the perfect medium to highlight those voices.
