Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by.

I’m Mikayla Rose Price.

Right now, I am a digital streaming producer at CBS News Chicago. I also represent Chicago on the CBS O&O Climate Watch team.

Before, I was on the assignment desk at CBS News Chicago for two years. I have done freelance writing for Web MD and Timeout Chicago. I was the director of development at 14 East Magazine.

My mission is to bring nuance and depth to the fast paced, 24-hour news cycle to best educate our audience, empowering them with the truth.

I write and produce stories that otherwise would not be covered by traditional broadcast television, such as underrepresented communities like incarcerated people, indigenous communities, people with disabilities and animal rescues

I also believe in people’s intelligence and hunger for knowledge, therefore dare to tackle “complex” topics, from how the universe is expanding, to breaking down the Inflation Reduction Act.

I am also passionate about public health and local arts and culture.

Fun facts: I am a black belt in Shotokan karate and have been vegan for 10 years.
