Karen Renee Branch-Brioso
Washington Correspondent
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Karen Branch-Brioso joined the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Washington bureau in the fall of 2000, where she has covered the Justice Department since the 9/11 attacks. A native of St. Louis, she received her bachelor’s degrees in journalism and Spanish from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Branch-Brioso began her reporting career at the Mexico City News, a month before the 1985 earthquake hit. She worked as a researcher in the Los Angeles Times Mexico City bureau, before going to work for the Miami Herald in 1988, where she covered state and local politics. She was awarded a fellowship at the USC Center for International Journalism for 1993-94. Branch-Brioso was part of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize- winning team that uncovered vote fraud in the Miami mayoral race, and she participated in the Herald’s Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the April 2000 federal raid to remove Elian Gonzalez from his cousins’ Miami home.
