Jami Floyd (born September 10, 1964) is an American attorney, journalist, network news anchor, legal and political analyst,[1] and former White House Fellow.

[15][17] In 1995, she briefly joined CBS News as a legal analyst before moving to New York City to help launch the cable outlet Court TV as an anchor and correspondent.

Reflecting on her reporting in the days and weeks that followed for the 9/11 Tribute Center, Floyd later said, "As a journalist you make your decision you are going to fulfill your obligation to your viewers, readers, listeners... You cannot have a democracy without journalism.

"[24] In April 2005, Floyd caused a stir with comments she made to the LA Times about then-Court TV colleague Nancy Grace.

Floyd expressed a concern in the LA Times that Grace presented a televised "rush to judgment" when she said, "I rarely agree with what comes out of her mouth, but it's hard not to like the person."

Floyd, who returned to Court TV's midday programming in 2005 after nearly a decade at ABC News, went on to say, "We have a lot of guests who come on and mimic Nancy.

[citation needed] Since 2010, Floyd has co-hosted, with WNYC's Brian Lehrer, an annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at the Apollo Theater.

Together they conduct moderate panels, introduce live music performances, host spiritual leaders and engage in conversation with a full theater from Harlem on the topic of social justice and Dr. King's vision for America.

[citation needed] In November 2021, four articles authored by Floyd that were published on the WNYC news site Gothamist between March and October 2021 were retracted for use of unattributed language from other publications.

[28][29][30] On February 9, 2023, Floyd filed suit in federal court against WNYC and its parent company, New York Public Radio, for race discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environment.
