Isabella Martin joined the reporting team at WPLG in July 2025. \n\nBorn and raised in Metro Detroit, she developed a passion for storytelling early on—always more interested in breaking news and crime cases than typical childhood distractions.\n\nIsabella studied Journalism at Michigan State University and began her reporting career at Fox 47 (WSYM) in Lansing, where she covered major stories like the MSU mass shooting, COVID learning gaps, and the disappearance of Brendan Santo.\n\nBefore joining WPLG, she reported for ABC 13 (KTNV) in Las Vegas, where she covered everything from viral national headlines to community-driven stories. Whether she’s reporting on local development frustrations, investigating fatal crash trends, or amplifying survivor voices, Isabella is committed to digging deeper and telling stories that matter.\n\nIsabella is thrilled to join Local 10, and tell the people of South Florida’s stories.\n\nReach out to Isabella for any story ideas at Imartin@wplg.com\n
