Miranda Suarez
Host, NTX NowMiranda Suarez is an award-winning reporter who started at KERA News in 2020. Before joining “NTX Now,” she covered Tarrant County government, with a focus on deaths in the local jail. Her work drives discussion at local government meetings and has led to real-world change — like the closure of a West Texas private prison that violated the state’s safety standards. A Massachusetts native, Miranda got her start in journalism at WTBU, Boston University’s student radio station. She later worked at WBUR as a business desk fellow, and while reporting for Boston 25 News, she received a New England Emmy nomination for her investigation into mental‑health counseling services at Massachusetts colleges and universities.
Outside the newsroom, Miranda is a lover of road trips, fantasy novels, crocheting, karaoke, and pro wrestling. She collects quirky vintage salt‑and‑pepper shakers (including a prized JFK and Jackie set) and shares her southwest Fort Worth home with two cats, Franny and Rio.
As a co-host of “NTX Now,” Miranda hopes her work provides listeners with a deeper sense of belonging and a clearer understanding of the community they share. She wants people to walk away from each episode feeling more connected — to their neighborhoods, to the North Texas region, and to one another.
