Austin Williams is a dynamic digital content creator with a passion for storytelling, bringing unique perspectives to breaking news, podcasts, and innovative content.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Austin joined FOX TV Stations in 2019, bringing a background in content creation and social media from platforms like Snapchat. With no prior journalism experience, his first assignment was covering a live bald eagle nest cam—a lighthearted introduction to what would quickly become a crash course in high-stakes reporting.
Thrown into the tumultuous 2020 election season and the global pandemic, Austin adapted quickly, covering critical stories like the long COVID crisis and securing key interviews, including one with Dr. Anthony Fauci during the height of the pandemic.
Austin’s diverse experiences—from producing global content at Snapchat to working on music videos for artists like Gucci Mane and Post Malone—have shaped his ability to tell compelling stories. He is committed to creating meaningful content that amplifies voices often left unheard.
