Angela Macias has been involved in journalism for most of her life. In high school, she was on both the yearbook and newspaper staffs and found a place as a reporter and editor at her college newspaper. As a reporter for newspapers in East Texas, Angela covered high-profile events like the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, Hurricane Rita, the historic shift to Republican control of Texas government, and death penalty cases. She eventually returned to high school journalism, where she taught and advised award-winning student publications for 16 years.

Since 2022, Angela has worked for the Dallas Free Press to build a journalism pathway giving Dallas ISD students equal access to the knowledge and tools they need to compete in today’s workforce.
