NBC-owned KNBC Los Angeles (DMA 2) today promoted Renee Washington to vice president of news.

Washington, who brings more than 20 years of broadcast television experience to the role, will report directly to Steve Carlston, KNBC president-GM, and begins her new post immediately.



Washington has been KNBC’s assistant news director since last fall. She co-directed all news gathering operations and digital and social media strategies for the station. She has played an integral role in managing the day-to-day operations of the newsroom.

Last year, she launched Streets of Shame — the first of its kind television news franchise with a commitment to the issue of homelessness, which many call a humanitarian disaster in Southern California. She has led the newsroom to investigate the people on the street, while examining factors of mental illness, drug addiction and housing. The investigation seeks to evoke change in the community and hold people with power accountable to address this crisis. While at the station, Washington has helped the station achieve ratings milestones.

Post starts Immediately according to the release.
