I'm Chris Cerney, a reporter and photo/videographer based in California. I cover news, investigations, and community stories with a focus on clean, accurate reporting.
My work has spanned field reporting, news packages, short-form video, and documentary content. Whether it's breaking news, a long-running investigation, or a local story that deserves attention, my goal is the same: tell it clearly, tell it honestly, and get it right.
