Camila Domonoske
Camila Flamiano Domonoske covers cars, energy and the future of mobility for NPR's Business Desk.
She got her start at NPR with the Arts Desk, where she edited poetry reviews, wrote and produced stories about books and culture, edited four different series of book recommendation essays, and helped conceive and create NPR's first-ever Book Concierge.
With NPR's Digital News team, she edited, produced, and wrote news and feature coverage on everything from the war in Gaza to the world's coldest city. She also curated the NPR home page, ran NPR's social media accounts, and coordinated coverage between the web and the radio. For NPR's Code Switch team, she has written on language, poetry and race. For NPR's Two-Way Blog/News Desk, she covered breaking news on all topics.
As a breaking news reporter, Camila appeared live on-air for Member stations, NPR's national shows, and other radio and TV outlets. She's written for the web about police violence, deportations and immigration court, history and archaeology, global family planning funding, walrus haul-outs, the theology of hell, international approaches to climate change, the shifting symbolism of Pepe the Frog, the mechanics of pooping in space, and cats ... as well as a wide range of other topics.
She was a regular host of NPR's daily update on Facebook Live, "Newstime" and co-created NPR's live headline contest, "Head to Head," with Colin Dwyer.
Every now and again, she still slips some poetry into the news.
Camila graduated from Davidson College in North Carolina.

The United Auto Workers expanded its strike against Ford and GM, but not Stellantis after the company formerly known as Chrysler made last-minute concessions. -
Historic as the UAW strikes may be, analysts say the actions are unlikely to impact car prices too much — for now. A new strike on parts distribution centers, however, could sting. -
General Motors had previously warned it would need to stop production at its Fairfax, Kansas, assembly plant, because it relied on parts that came from a Missouri plant that is currently on strike. -
Autoworkers' emotions — from excitement to fear and apprehension — are running high as the United Auto Workers launches an unprecedented strike against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis at once. -
Wages, benefits and job security may be at the heart of union talks with Detroit automakers — but the rise of battery-powered cars looms large in the background. -
A road trip I took with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm confirmed one thing: The U.S. is wrestling with an inadequate charging network (unless you're a Tesla driver). -
In a wide-ranging interview, Ford's CEO shares his thoughts about his company's ramp-up in electric cars and the state of charging. (He's very happy about that Tesla deal, too.) -
A lack of fast chargers for road trips is a major deterrent for would-be electric vehicle purchasers. In response, big automakers are following Tesla's playbook — and teaming up in an unusual way. -
Automakers are building more electric vehicles, but the EPA wants to set rules pushing them to go even faster. Environmental groups say that's essential; traditional carmakers say it's not feasible. -
As trade tensions between the U.S. and China continue, Beijing is now requiring buyers of germanium and gallium to ask for approval from the Chinese government.
