Kiah Collier

Welcome! I'm Kiah Collier, a Peabody Award-winning journalist based in Texas.

Since 2010, I've reported for publications across the state including The Texas Tribune, the Austin American-Statesman and the Houston Chronicle. Most recently, I worked as an investigative reporter for ProPublica and The Texas Tribune.

Most of my reporting has revolved around state and local government and politics but I've had several official and unofficial sub-beats such as the state budget, energy and environment, K-12 education and civil courts.

I’m a seventh-generation Texan and have dedicated my career to holding leaders here accountable, uncovering problems that would otherwise go unnoticed and amplifying underrepresented voices. I've reported from every major city in the state and from many of its quietest rural corners, seeking out diverse perspectives on issues of public interest. I've also covered some of the state's worst disasters from the ground, including a hurricane and a deadly fertilizer plant explosion.

I aim to provide readers with in-depth, accurate, and thought-provoking reporting that results in positive changes benefitting everyday people. My reporting has helped spur the passage of state and federal laws, the termination of harmful corporate practices and the resignation of a state district court judge. I frequently appear on television and radio programs to discuss my coverage
