Leah Mallory is a New York City based Journalist, currently pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism at Fordham University. Her journey began in the WFUV Public Radio newsroom — Fordham’s NPR-affiliate & award winning station — where she served as a host and reporter for the daily What’s What podcast. Here, she honed her skills in interviewing, editing, and audio production while covering local news, and consistently delivering compelling feature stories about significant artistic and cultural events happening around New York City. 

Leah further developed her audio editing and production skills working as an Audio Producer Intern for the Elvis Duran Morning Show on Z100 (New York’s #1 Hit Station), and as a Talk Programming Intern for Radio Andy/Channel 102 at SiriusXM, contributing primarily to “Andy Cohen Live.”

Beyond audio, Leah’s storytelling journey extends to the written word. She’s been published in Fordham University’s writing journal for excellence in student writing, their magazine, and award-winning newspaper The Observer, and has also worked as a Staff Blogger for a consulting firm.

Notable highlights include interviews with Emmy-nominated writer and stand-up comedian Josh Johnson, celebrated dancer Misty Copeland, and White House Secretary Karine Pierre Jean.

Currently, Leah is an intern with the 7 On Your Side unit at WABC-TV, the most-watched TV station in the U.S, carrying out production tasks and assisting reporter Nina Pineda.

Simultaneously, Leah is a Digital Equity Local Voices Lab Fellow with the New York Amsterdam News, the most influential Black news publication in the country. In this role, she writes articles and produces multimedia content that reaches tens of thousands of readers across print, digital, and social media platforms, focusing on Black perspectives related to advancing digital equity and access to technology in the local community. The fellowship is made possible by ComcastNBCUniversal.
