Lynn La is the newsletter writer for CalMatters, focusing on California’s top political, policy and Capitol stories every weekday. She produces and curates 중요한 것은 무엇인가, CalMatters’ flagship daily newsletter with more than 150,000 subscribers.    

In the newsletter, Lynn analyzes the state’s policy issues for a broader audience, through original reporting and by summarizing and compiling stories from CalMatters and other news sources. Recently, she has reported on bills to address California’s worsening fentanyl epidemic, tackle retail theft and legislate happiness. She also reveals more about lawmakers by interviewing them for an occasional series on first-term legislators in 2023 and new committee chairpersons in 2024. 

Through WhatMatters, Lynn also plays a crucial role in CalMatters election coverage, helping to keep track of daily developments in key campaigns, including legislative and congressional races and ballot measures.  

Prior to joining CalMatters in March 2023, she wrote for the education technology startup Guild and was a senior editor at CNET. She also covered public health at The Sacramento Bee as a Kaiser media fellow and was an intern reporter at Capitol Weekly. 

Lynn is based in the Bay Area. She graduated from UC Davis and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

왼쪽에 서서 검은색 정장에 보라색 넥타이를 매고 있는 의원이 오른손을 들고 왼손을 책에 올려놓고 있습니다. 중앙에 서서 검은색 블레이저를 입은 사람이 오른쪽에 서서 보라색 블레이저를 입은 카말라 해리스 부통령을 바라보면서 책을 들고 있습니다. 그녀는 취임식을 지휘하고 있습니다.
교사가 책을 가리키고, 책상에 앉은 아이가 책을 보고 있다. 다른 학생들이 프레임에 보인다. 배경은 교실이다.
한 사람이 국경 울타리 옆 모래 위의 연단에서 연설하고 있습니다. 그 사람 뒤에는 정장을 입은 사람들이 줄을 서 있고, 오른쪽에는 군복을 입은 사람들이 줄을 서 있습니다.
한 사람이 방 안에서 농구를 하는 사람들을 지켜보며 기둥에 기대어 벤치에 앉아 있다.
금발 머리에 검은색과 흰색 꽃무늬 블라우스를 입은 한 사람이 집 거실에 서서 왼쪽을 바라보고 있습니다.
방 전체가 주 의사당의 의회실에서 서서 충성서약을 낭송하면서 오른손을 가슴에 얹은 사람들로 가득 차 있습니다. 회색 정장을 입은 한 명과 빨간색 블레이저를 입은 다른 한 명의 의원이 프레임 중앙에 보입니다.
