Anthea Raymond has been part of the Southern California media landscape for a long time.  You can hear her now on KCRW radio, LA's NPR affiliate. You can also learn from Anthea in her Broadcast Journalism class at Santa Monica College. And you can read and comment on her pieces for HuffingtonPost.com.

Anthea has held many senior positions in radio. She was the first Senior Editor at KPCC Radio Pasadena. She was also Executive/Line Producer of "Bloomberg Politically Speaking," and Show Editor of NPR's ground-breaking program on race, "News and Notes." Anthea's career hardware includes an Emmy nomination, multiple Golden Mike wins, and an LA Press Club Award for Best Multimedia Package. 

Anthea served as President of the Los Angeles Press Club from 2006-2007, and has co-produced four Southern California Journalism Awards. She is now on the Board of the Echo Park Recreation Center. Anthea also coordinates the teens who blog at WriteGirlblog.wordpress.com. 

A trained oral historian, Anthea's Emmy-nominated documentary (with Beverly Jones), "Carnations, Ostriches, and Condos: The Hidden History of Ocean Park, California," has screened at libraries, galleries, museums, and on the History Channel.   It remains a benchmark for the use of oral history in "place-based" storytelling.

A native Angeleno, Anthea received her undergraduate degree from Wellesley College. She holds business and law degrees from UCLA, where she was Associate Director of the Center for Arts and Entertainment Management for four years.
