Moira Vaughan
I'm looking forward to my career as a broadcast MMJ reporter following graduation in May 2026 from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications. As a journalist, I take pride in leading with integrity and accuracy in every story I tell. My passion lies in telling stories through the eyes of the community, taking the time to truly get to know the people I report on, building trust, and sharing their voices with empathy and authenticity.


I’m a multimedia journalist for CitrusTV, the student-run television studio at Syracuse University. After joining the station’s News and Entertainment Departments in September 2022, I’ve consistently covered news and events throughout the University and Central New York area multiple days a week, mostly producing day-turn packages and live VOSOTs ready to air. After a successful year of reporting/producing more than 20 daily stories/interviews/features, I was promoted to my current role as CitrusTV’s investigative reporter and evening anchor. I also assist in the role of associate producer for News Live at 6 weekly shows. Through these roles, I’ve strengthened my ability to work under deadline pressure, think critically in the field, and deliver accurate, engaging content to our audience.

I’m grateful to have interned at CBS News Philadelphia from June to August 2024 and at NBC10 Philadelphia News from June to August 2025. In these stations, I gained hands-on experience collaborating with reporters, anchors, producers, and assignment editors. I also strengthened my digital writing skills by crafting articles and curating social media content for the Web and Digital team, as well as my pitching skills on enterprise/investigative stories. Reporting in my hometown has deepened my passion for local journalism, as I engage with the stories that shape neighborhoods by listening to and telling them through the eyes of the people who live in them.
