Morgan Rynor

Morgan Rynor joined the CBS News Miami team as a reporter in August 2023 and is excited to be back home.

A Miami Beach native, Morgan grew up in the community she now serves.

She began her on-air career as a general assignment and political reporter in Fort Myers, Florida, before moving to California, where she worked as a political correspondent for TV stations in San Diego and Sacramento.

During her time in California, Morgan was nominated for an Emmy for an in-depth report explaining two complex ballot measures that sought to legalize sports betting statewide, either online or in person. The campaigns behind the measures outspent every other ballot initiative in California's history.

At CBS Miami, Morgan earned another Emmy nomination for her extensive coverage of Hurricane Milton in Fort Pierce, where several deadly tornadoes struck.

Morgan is a proud graduate of the University of Florida, where she won an Associated Press Award for Best Breaking News for her coverage of a Confederate rally outside a football game.

A devoted Gators fan, she did not miss a single home football game during her four years at UF.

Morgan's passion for public speaking and policy began well before college. In high school, she traveled across the country competing in Speech and Debate tournaments and won "Best Speaker" in Florida.

She is also a dedicated fan of the Miami Heat and the Miami Dolphins.

In her free time, Morgan enjoys taking her dogs, Athena and Harry, on adventures, trying new restaurants around Miami, and spending time with her family and her husband's family, who also live in the area.
