Previously, Miranda was National Investigative Reporter at HuffPost and Director of Investigations at Floodlight, where she oversaw the nonprofit newsroom’s national investigative team while reporting projects of her own. Her work has investigated energy and environmental policy, federal agencies, money in politics, dark-money networks and the manipulation of news to spread misinformation. At Floodlight, her reporting was published in collaboration with outlets including NPR, ProPublica, The Guardian and the Los Angeles Times.
Miranda won the National Press Club’s 2025 Arthur E. Rowse Award for Examining the News Media and the Los Angeles Press Club’s 2025 A-Mark Prize for Reporting on Misinformation and Disinformation, and received an honorable mention for the National Press Foundation’s 2025 Stokes Award for Best Energy and Environmental Writing. An investigation with NPR into the political forces behind efforts to restrict solar development won second place in the 2024 National Headliner Awards. Another two-part investigation with NPR, which exposed how major utilities used political consultants and news organizations to influence energy policy and public opinion, was a finalist for the 2023 Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting and received honors from the Los Angeles Press Club and Southern Environmental Law Center.
Her reporting has appeared in ProPublica, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Politico Magazine and The Atavist. Before moving to Los Angeles, Miranda spent seven years reporting from Washington, D.C., including as a staff reporter at CNN, The Hill, The Daily Beast and Scripps News. She covered Congress and federal energy and environmental policy from the U.S. Capitol and reported from the campaign trail during the 2016 presidential election.
Her investigations have ranged beyond the climate beat, including a New York Magazine investigation into allegations involving Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver and a Politico Magazine profile of former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. A long form story she wrote for The Atavist about a jewelry sales ponzi scheme is being developed into a documentary.
