Emma Goss

Journalist in SF Bay Area

Watch my reel

I'm a general assignment reporter at NBC Bay Area/Telemundo 48. I cover all regions of the Bay Area and report in English and Spanish. I love investigative reporting, digging for the details, connecting the dots, challenging preconceived ideas with evidence and facts, and starting a conversation.

I’m also a Rockower award winning staff writer for J. the Jewish News of Northern California, where I cover a variety of current issues facing the Jewish community, and faith-based communities more broadly. (Antisemitism in schools, protests against Israel’s right-wing government, and Jewish institutions facing existential crises, for instance)

It's an honor and a dream to cover the stories that impact the community I come from.

I grew up in Silicon Valley, and attended Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School and Kehillah Jewish High School. I graduated from Barnard College of Columbia University with a B.A. in American Studies and a minor in Art History.

Throughout college, I wrote and interned for a variety of news publications, and ultimately gravitated toward broadcast news. I worked as a news producer for NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, The Today Show, and MSNBC at 30 Rockefeller Center for four years.

During that time I began specializing in business and technology journalism, covering national stories on disinformation, cybersecurity, Wall Street volatility and economic impacts, and problems inside social media companies.

I transitioned to on-air reporting in 2018, spending two years in Bakersfield, before moving back to the Bay Area. I reported for KTVU Fox 2 News as a general assignment reporter for two years prior to coming to NBC Bay Area in January 2023.

I am a member of the board of directors of Kehillah Jewish High school, and I am a member of the Junior League of Palo Alto•Mid Peninsula where I volunteer to support local women and children's arts and education initiatives. I also lead programming for Jewish young adults through my leadership role at the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto.
