Dennis Romero
I cover domestic and global breaking news as it happens, almost always remotely, from mass shootings and natural disasters to pop culture stories. As a native San Diegan who learned reporting by watching some of the best working in Los Angeles, I specialized in crime and police, Hollywood diversity and cutting-edge music. The reemergence of the Chicano identity in the Trump era, the calls for social change after George Floyd’s murder, observing Elon Musk's use of century old technology to tout a vision of the future — it's all news to me.
