About Megan Cloherty
I excel at making connections, establishing trust with the audience and sources. I\'m a newsroom leader with 22 years of editorial experience, I bring institutional knowledge and an innate news sense to the desk. As a second-generation reporter, this work is in my blood. I love finding a tip or a thread of a possible story and following it to uncover a story the community needs to know about.I\'m currently working on the re-release of a 2019 podcast I co-created,\"22 Hours: An American Nightmare,\" which was named one of the best of the year by the Associated Press. My reporting consistently centers on transparency, justice, community engagement, and driving meaningful change through journalism.At KOAA5, I focused on uncovering stories with broad societal implications, drawing attention to systemic issues, and fostering accountability. My work involved collaborating with community members and stakeholders to provide nuanced, in-depth reporting that resonates with Southern Colorado audiences. Previously, I served as an investigative reporter and podcast host at WTOP News, where I co-created and hosted \"22 Hours,\" a podcast that dissected a high-profile DC murder case. This work highlighted my ability to transform complex narratives into accessible, compelling storytelling.
