Taiyler S. Mitchell is a Los Angeles-based reporter on the breaking news desk at HuffPost. As a generalist, she has covered subjects including elections, police brutality, high-profile lawsuits, social movements, the death penalty, hip hop, TV shows and more. Notably, she has highlighted the stories of families who lost their homes to the 2025 fires in LA County, explained how an Oklahoma execution showed the disproportionate use of capital punishment on Black men, detailed the significance of the Stop Cop City movement and discussed how a police brutality victim leaned on the use of restorative justice. Before working at HuffPost, Mitchell reported on the news desk at Business Insider. She interviewed sources inside the embattled countries of Afghanistan and Ukraine, discussed forgiveness and flaws in the criminal justice system with a man convicted of murder and explained the 2022 strike inside Alabama prisons. She also reported on sex work and the unhoused community in depth. Mitchell is an alumna of Dillard University and a member of the National Association of Black Journalists and the Online News Association. NBCLX, SFGate, VoyageLA Magazine and more have spotlighted her work. In her spare time, she can be found wine tasting, trying out new recipes, improving her Spanish or shopping for home decor items and clothing. Though she’s a SoCal native, Mitchell is never really done exploring the countless coffee shops and bars that LA has to offer.
