About Grace
Grace King is a reporter for 11Alive News, the NBC affiliate in Atlanta.
She’s led coverage of several high-profile court cases, such as Young Thug's RICO trial, President Trump's election interference indictment and Jose Ibarra's murder trial for the killing of Laken Riley.
In September, she investigated the background of the student accused of fatally shooting four and wounding nine at Apalachee High School to show possible warning signs and how constant transfers made it difficult for law enforcement to keep track of the family.
In October, Grace uncovered pattern of safety violations at facility with dangerous chemical fire, polluting air for much of Metro Atlanta. Records showed a history of similar fires, as well as a lack of proper training and exposure to toxic chemicals.
Those stories relied on her background as an investigative reporter in Knoxville, where she produced a multi-part investigation that found state and local agencies are failing to report hundreds of inmate deaths in accordance with state law.
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.
