Steve Sebelius has been a pillar of Nevada political journalism for more than 30 years. As a reporter, editor, and columnist for the Las Vegas Sun, Las Vegas CityLife, and Las Vegas Review-Journal, he set the standard for political coverage with his accuracy, fairness, and insight. His sharp analysis and deep understanding of legislative and legal issues earned trust across the political spectrum.
As editor of CityLife, he helped shape major investigative stories, including a notable exposé on the Las Vegas Monorail. His writing—always well-sourced and clearly reasoned—was respected even by those who disagreed with him.
Beyond his reporting, Sebelius taught journalism at UNLV, mentored young reporters, and served as a longtime panelist and guest host on PBS’s Nevada Week in Review, expanding the reach of Nevada journalism into public dialogue and the classroom.
Now a political reporter at KTNV Channel 13, Sebelius continues his work in public affairs reporting. His decades of impactful journalism and mentorship have left a lasting mark on Nevada’s media landscape.
