Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by.

I’m Mikayla Price, a digital streaming producer at CBS News Chicago.

I specialize in long-form, investigative journalism that holds power accountable and translates complex systemic issues into compelling, human-centered stories.

My mission is to empower the public with nuanced, in-depth reporting—particularly on stories about underrepresented communities and systemic failures that are often overlooked. I believe in the audience's intelligence, whether I'm explaining the mysteries of dark energy or the real-world impact of doxxing campaigns.

My work is defined by a sharp, deeply-researched approach and a clear moral backbone.

Previously, I served as an Assignment Editor at CBS News Chicago, honing my news judgment and editorial strategy. My background also includes freelance writing and directing development for 14 East Magazine.

Beyond the newsroom, I'm passionate about public health and local arts and culture.

A bit more about me: I hold a black belt in Shotokan karate and have been vegan for a decade.
