family in “Deadly Smile: The Happy Face Killer,” the new evidence

parents in “Menendez Brothers: Monsters or Victims?” and many
more.

Chang’s award-winning report “Trans and Targeted” on violence
against transgender women of color caps a series of her stories on
LGBTQ+ issues. Chang has won multiple GLAAD awards and conducted
exclusive television interviews with transgender soldier Chelsea
Manning and Lia Thomas, the transgender UPenn swimmer whose case
highlighted the debate over trans athletes.

She has reported on mass shootings and gender-based violence,

A former news anchor for “Good Morning America,” Chang joined ABC
