About Grace

Grace King is a reporter for 11Alive News, the NBC affiliate in Atlanta. She joined the team in August 2023 after serving as an investigative reporter in Knoxville for four years.

She led a multi-part investigation that found state and local agencies are failing to report hundreds of inmate deaths in accordance with state law.

She broke numerous stories when Knoxville’s deputy police chief was placed on leave by regularly filing public records requests and developing sources close to and inside the department.

She also leads the 10News Data Team, which helps provide context and trends to big stories, like COVID-19, gun violence and tourism.

Before moving to East Tennessee, she led the innovative storytelling unit at WUFT News, where she investigated Florida’s civil rights restoration process, gun violence in schools and the mental aftermath of hurricanes.

Grace’s reporting has taken her all over the world from covering firearm legislation in Canada to the March for Our Lives in D.C., Hurricane Maria’s aftermath in Puerto Rico, environmental pollution in Louisiana and cultural divides in Cuba. She’s produced dozens of stories in Florida, including on the Pulse nightclub shooting anniversary, Parkland shooting aftermath and 2017 MLB All-Star Game.

Her work has been recognized with regional Edward R. Murrow Awards seven times, including for “excellence in innovation” and “news documentary.” Her work has been published by NPR, NBC News and TIME Inc., among others.
