Stephanie Martinez
Multimedia Journalist
A native of Barranquilla, Colombia, Stephanie is an Emmy-award winning news reporter in the Greater Los Angeles area. Stephanie currently works for Voice of America, the largest US international broadcaster, which provides news in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of more than 280 million people. She has also worked as a reporter and anchor for Univision and Telemundo.
Since completing her Masters Degree in Broadcast Journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park, she has researched, filmed, and edited numerous enterprise and investigative stories. One of those investigations prompted a Homeland Security investigation, resulting in the apprehension of a criminal ring. In 2011, Stephanie made her first feature-length documentary “Uncensored: Narco Journalism”.
In 2013, she embarked on an ambitious endeavor to create News Quickies, a unique brand of news that resonated with her own bicultural identity and those of many other immigrants in the United States. News Quickies shakes up the way news is delivered and consumed, combining top headlines with cutting-edge digital advances, creativity, and the unique voice and style of the presenter. News Quickies is your no B.S. news outlet with a hint of personality. News Quickies is a way for Stephanie to embrace who she is: a millennial and an immigrant.
