Lisa Napoli

Interim Morning Report Host and Senior Los Angeles Reporter

Lisa Napoli

In over 20 years in journalism, Lisa Napoli has been a writer at CNN, a columnist and reporter for The New York Times, an on-air correspondent for MSNBC, a columnist for MSNBC.com, and a producer (in various capacities) for News Corp. and for the home-shopping channel QVC.

Those are just the staff jobs.

Lisa has directed documentaries that have aired on public television, and written many news stories for a variety of publications, which her father dutifully archives in cardboard boxes.

Most recently, she worked for a start-up radio station called Kuzoo FM 90 in the formerly media-free Kingdom of Bhutan, a country between India and China.

Right now, she is writing a book chapter about the very first race car driver, Barney Oldfield, and planning what to serve at the weekly party she throws in downtown Los Angeles, where she is a contributing writer to her community newspaper, The Downtown News.

A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., she is a proud graduate of Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass.
