Samuel King is an Investigative Reporter for WSFA 12 News. He joined the WSFA 12 team in September 2010. He was born in Queens, New York, but spent most of his childhood in Ozark, so moving to Alabama is like a coming home.
Samuel most recently worked as an Anchor/Reporter for NY1's "Your Queens News Now," anchoring hourly segments and reporting on various happenings. Before that he worked at WSBT in South Bend, as a reporter/fill-in anchor. There he won Honorable Mention for "Best Investigative Story" from the Indiana Associated Press. He also was part of the team that won Best Spot News and Best Continuing Coverage awards from the Associated Press and the RTDNA.
Before moving to South Bend, Samuel's first full time position was with WECT, WSFA 12's Raycom sister station in Wilmington, North Carolina. There he won a "Best Spot News" Award from the Radio and Television News Directors Association of the Carolinas.
Samuel began his career as a reporter during a fellowship at KSNT in Topeka, Kansas. He is a graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
Outside of work, he enjoys reading, watching and playing sports and working out. If you have a story tip for him, email at samuelking@wsfa.com.
