Dana Littlefield
Dana Littlefield, a senior editor at LAist, was born and raised in Southern California. She spent most of her 20 years in journalism at The San Diego Union-Tribune, where she was a state courts reporter and later public safety editor.
She is passionate about journalism and education, having worked for more than a decade as an adjunct journalism instructor at San Diego State University and Southwestern College in Chula Vista. In 2010, she served as inaugural co-director of the National Association of Black Journalists high school workshop – called the JSHOP – and has been a mentor with the project ever since.
Littlefield is excited to be a part of the LAist team and is happy to return to Los Angeles, where she earned her undergraduate degree in American literature from UCLA before getting a master’s in mass communication from University of Florida. She enjoys movies, books, exercise (on occasion) and copious amounts of Mexican food.
