Matt Prichard started with NBC 10 Boston in August of 2023 as a political reporter covering local, state and national issues.
Broadcast journalism often requires a lot of movement and Matt's career has been a great example of that. He started in Albany, Georgia, as an Anchor/Reporter before moving to Colorado Springs and Washington, D.C., after that.
During his time in the nation's capital, Matt provided coverage for 30 television stations across the country covering critical stories at the White House, U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court. Aside from the day-to-day headlines, Matt covered for the 2020 caucuses in Iowa, the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and the 2021 presidential Inauguration.
While politics claims much of his time, Matt is passionate about a variety of different stories. He took home an Emmy nomination for his breaking news coverage of the Coastal Fire in his hometown of Laguna Niguel, California, and was catapulted off the USS Nimitz in a C-2 Greyhound for a feature report on the U.S. Navy.
Outside of work, Matt enjoys watching football or baseball and has crossed the finish line of four half marathons and one full marathon. As you might imagine, he's hoping to run the Boston Marathon at some point in the near future!
