About Lisa Fernandez
Journalists are not stenographers. We are there to ask tough questions and push back on official narratives. I have been asking and pushing for the last 30 years in the pursuit of holding the powerful accountable. In addition to Journalism (capital J), I also love a fun feature and sidebar stories. I have worked at newspapers and TV stations and have broken and produced many stories. Specialties: Exposing abuses in the criminal justice system. Serving as a voice for marginalized communities. Ability to track people down and have them share their stories. Breaking news. Multi-platform reporter, from videos to website to print. Multi-tasker: Can work on many projects at once. Team player. Energetic. Positive.
