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 now covers education for KALW radio in San Francisco, reporting and producing in-depth sound-rich features. Her print work has appeared in The Guardian, EdSource and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting. In addition to KALW, her radio pieces have aired on KQED's The California Report 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.
