Tisha Thompson Moves To WRC From WTTG

Award-winning investigative reporter Tisha Thompson has joined NBC O&O WRC Washington (DMA 8) as an investigative reporter.

Thompson joins WRC from WTTG Washington where she spent four years as the lead reporter for Fox5’s investigative unit.

While Thompson is new to WRC, her roots at the station go way back. Her mother, Lea Thompson, spent almost 20 years at WRC as a news anchor, co-leader of the investigative unit, and consumer reporter before becoming the chief consumer correspondent for Dateline NBC.

Thompson joins her former producer, Rick Yarborough, who joined WRC last month as senior investigative platform manager. While at WTTG, Thompson and Yarborough teamed up to expose numerous examples of corruption.

Thompson is a graduate of Princeton University and then the University of Missouri Graduate School of Journalism.
