Associate Professor of Communications
Theresa de los Santos ('01, MA '08) is an associate professor of communication in the Communication Division at Pepperdine. She obtained a bachelor of arts degree in broadcast journalism and a master of arts degree in media communication from Pepperdine. She earned her PhD in media communication from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is an Emmy award-winning television news producer, formerly working at FOX 6 in San Diego and on the FOX 11 Morning News and Good Day L.A. at KTTV in Los Angeles. As a news producer, de los Santos covered Hurricane Katrina, the Corral wildfire in Malibu, and the immigrations protests of 2006. Covering these events made her step back and question the impact of the language used in news messages on audiences. As a result, her research focuses on news literacy education and the effect of discrete emotions, like anger and hope, in news coverage on attitude, opinion, and behavior change. At Pepperdine, de los Santos teaches in the areas of journalism, media, and research methods and leads the broadcast news co-curricular program.
