‘I’ve never felt more fulfilled in my life,’ says TV reporter dating LA mayor

Los Angeles Times
KTLA reporter Lu Parker is talking for the first time about dating Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and being criticized for it in journalism circles. “I knew there would be a reaction, but I didn’t expect that kind,” she says. “It was horrible. I hadn’t done anything wrong.” She adds that “journalism is only about a fifth of my life.”
