Erik Anderson reports on business stories on all three KPBS platforms: radio, web and television. He works with a team of award-winning journalists to bring San Diego accurate, informative and interesting stories. Erik brings more than three decades of journalism experience into the newsroom. That experience helps him find and tell compelling stories in the San Diego and Imperial County region.
“I’m always amazed at the way KPBS radio reaches out and helps make connections in our community,” said Anderson. “Good radio is people talking to people, about people. KPBS creates an incredible opportunity to help understand what’s happening in our community and how it affects us.”
