Who is Lilia Luciano?

Lilia Luciano was a television journalist and was a national news correspondent for NBC News's The Today Show, Nightly News with Brian Williams and MSNBC. She is also a TEDx speaker and contributing columnist for Huffington Post writing both in English and Spanish about issues concerning the Hispanic community, the War on Drugs and Human Rights.

On May 2, 2012 it was announced that Luciano was no longer with NBC News, after it was found that the audio portion of the Trayvon Martin 9-1-1 call was edited in a manner that did not reflect the nature of the conversation and had the appearance of George Zimmerman making an unprompted statement that Martin was black instead as his direct answer to the 911 dispatcher's questions. NBC subsequently dismissed several employees.
