    Kia Gregory

    Profile

    Kia Gregory is an award-winning journalist, author, and professor.

    She focuses on uncovering stories beneath the headlines, exploring and witnessing people's lived experiences to tell untold narratives. Gregory began her career as a staff writer at the Philadelphia Weekly, documenting the impact of public policy on people and communities, especially within the criminal legal system and organizer spaces, through narrative storytelling. She later joined the Philadelphia Inquirer and the New York Times. Her enterprise reporting has been featured in The Atlantic, The New Republic, and The New Yorker.

    As a journalism scholar, she researches the societal impact of news media stories, analyzing how they contribute to or challenge existing narratives and power structures. Her work emphasizes critical thinking, empathy, hands-on skills development, community-centered reporting, and journalism as a public good.

    Gregory is the founder of LEGACY, a news magazine and community-led media collective of Black policy, Black power, and Black joy.

    She is also an author at Knopf, working on a narrative non-fiction book, "Indictment: An American Tragedy," interweaving the stories of four people who have been indelibly marked by ongoing police violence against African Americans and who are on the front lines for justice and healing.
