ABOUT JO YURCABA
I\'m an enterprise reporter for NBC News Digital, where I write in-depth features and investigations about trending news, with a focus on the LGBTQ+ community. Prior to starting this position in December 2025, I was a reporter for NBC Out, the LGBTQ+ vertical for NBC News Digital, for five years. I wrote daily news articles and features about everything under the queer and trans umbrella, with a focus on state legislation affecting transgender people. I was previously a freelance writer and editor. I specialize in LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive health/justice, and mental health. I have bylines in BuzzFeed, Marie Claire, ELLE, Bustle, Teen Vogue, ThinkProgress, Rewire.News, Romper, and more. I enjoy the fast-paced nature of news writing and editing for the web, though I am happiest digging into data and chasing down sources for longer reported articles or news analysis. I graduated from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill with a BA in journalism and philosophy.
