About

Kyra E. Azore is a Multi-Skilled Producer at CBS News Detroit, where she currently produces the 8am hour-long newscast, in addition she also works on streaming and special projects. She joined the team in August 2022, as the station prepared to launch the “newsroom of the future,” returning to air in that market after a 20 year hiatus. This opportunity has given Kyra the unique experience of being with a station at its infancy and watching it grow and develop each day.

Prior to joining the team in Detroit, Kyra spent three years at CBS News Boston where she helped launch their 24-hour hyper-local new stream. There she mastered how streaming could be an asset to traditional newsrooms looking to modernize their approach, as the way viewers consume content continues to change.

Kyra is a proud alumna of Howard University, where she received a Bachelors of Arts in Media, Journalism & Film in 2019. She is also pursuing her Master of Business Administration at Louisiana State University Shreveport. 

Professionally, Kyra is a member of Online News Association (ONA) and the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). In August 2017, Kyra was elected to NABJ’s Board of Directors where she served as the Student Representative. During her two year board term as Student Representative, Kyra represented the concerns of more than 1300 student members and worked to ensure that the organization provided adequate programming and mentorship for all her constituents. Kyra still remains active within the organization, serving on various committees and task forces. 

When she is not working or studying, she enjoys traveling, spending time with family and friends and being a tourist in her own city.
