About Naomi
Naomi Delkamiller is an investigative reporter with a background in visual storytelling, data journalism and multimedia reporting. She believes the point of journalism is to help the public better understand complex issues. The format—whether video, graphics, or written stories—is simply a vehicle to accomplish this mission.
