Samantha McGranahan

Samantha initially came to 12 On Your Side as a digital intern in October 2021. She loved working at the station so much that she asked to come back for her last semester of college to intern with producers, wanting to learn all she can from the newsroom.

She joined 12 On Your Side full time in summer 2022 as a digital content producer. She co-writes the "What's New in RVA?" digital segment.

As a born and raised Richmonder, she is happy to get the chance to stay in the place she calls home. Samantha initially fell in love with journalism while in high school where she attended the Specialty Center of Mass Communications at Manchester High School in Midlothian.

She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism with a minor in LGBT and Queer Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University.
