Emma Uber's newsletter, The DC Dispatch, takes you deeper into the scandals, disputes and delights in Washington. It will feature news and a story you'll want to share in your group chat.

Emma joined City Cast DC in 2026 as part of the newsroom expansion. She previously covered D.C. police and local public safety issues at The Washington Post. A native Hoosier and graduate of Indiana University, Emma has covered breaking news at the Tampa Bay Times, interned with Indianapolis Monthly magazine and worked with the national investigative team at USA TODAY. She loves living in D.C. because of the public transportation, the green spaces and the abundance of delicious local coffee shops.
