RYAN COOPER
[AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST & STORYTELLER]
ABOUT ME
I'm an Emmy Award-winning journalist based in Los Angeles, with more than 22 years of television news experience at CNN, CBS News and Spectrum News. Previously, I worked in Atlanta and London.
I'm a producer at heart, though I have also held senior management and leadership positions for more than 10 years. I've also field produced and overseen the production
of three Oscar specials.
At Spectrum News, I helped launch a new digital news app, a CTV mobile app for streaming, a new digital-only news market in Hawaii, and I ran our national news channel, Spectrum News+, during the 2024 presidential election season.
​
In December 2019, I completed my Master of Arts degree in Communication & Leadership from Gonzaga University, with a concentration in Digital Media Strategies. I believe that the convergence of digital and television journalism is not the future, it is the present.

These are causes and groups that I am passionate about or have made an impact on my life. I want to spread the word about the tremendous work they do.
