Hi! My name is Morgan Bircher and I have nearly a decade of experience as a writer and journalist.

I graduated from Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in 2013. From there, I was hired as a web producer for iHeartMedia’s 24/7 News Source department. I managed content on hundreds of radio stations’ websites before being promoted to a reporting position where I interviewed and wrote rip-and-read copy for the radio newswire. I produced soundbites and stories covering local, environmental and political news for states across the nation.

In 2015, I began working for the nationally syndicated television show RightThisMinute. As a digital producer, I was in charge of scouring the Internet for viral content while managing the RTM social media platforms. While working at RTM, I also freelanced for multiple publications including LocalRevibe magazine where I wrote about up-and-coming businesses surrounding the Phoenix metro area, as well as iHeartMedia where I stayed on as a freelance reporter for several years.

Currently, as a real-time editor for ABC15 News in Phoenix, I work on the assignment desk identifying breaking news and creating content for cross-platform distribution. I write, edit and optimize digital content for our various social media channels while managing our reporters in the field. I cover a diverse range of topics including breaking news, community events, health and politics.
​
When I’m not busy in my career, I enjoy finding DIY projects around my home in Phoenix, as well as spending time with my two German Shepherds, Ghost and Sadie; cat, Manson; and of course, my husband, William. It’s never a bad day when it’s spent discovering a new coffee shop, checking out a local restaurant or traveling the world.
