Kara St. Cyr

Reporter and Anchor of Louisiana: The State We're In

Kara St.Cyr is a Baton Rouge, Louisiana native who graduated from Baton Rouge Magnet High School in 2014 and finished LSU with a degree in Mass Communication in 2018. She has worked as a reporter for WVLA NBC Local 33 prior to joining Louisiana Public Broadcasting.

During her time as an LSU student she participated in several extra curricular activities including student media. For two semesters she served as a reporter, producer and news director for LSU’s Tiger TV. There, she covered several breaking news events, including the Phi Delta Theta hazing scandal and officer involved shootings. She also won an APME award for her work as a student journalist.

Although she’s spent over 20 years in the Capitol City, Kara considers her Louisiana experience a unique hybrid of both Baton Rouge and New Orleans having family split in both areas.

When she’s not working, Kara divides her time between reading and painting.
