Marshal Farmer

Marshal Farmer is a reporter and producer for KLTV and KTRE. He currently reports on GMET Monday through Wednesday and produces for GMET Weekend. Marshal grew up in Cedar Park, where he graduated from Cedar Park High School in 2020. He always found newscasts and live content production to be exciting, and it was a morning ritual for him to watch the morning newscasts before school, fostering an appreciation for journalism. After graduating from high school, Marshal went to the University of North Texas, graduating in the fall 2024 semester with a major in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Communication Studies. While at UNT, he was a reporter and anchor at UNT's award-winning newsroom, NTTV. He also directed shows at NTTV and NT Daily, assisting and teaching students in both the student newsroom and in practicum classes. During his 2024 summer semester, Marshal became an investigative reporter at ASU’s Carnegie-Knight News21 program, which is based in Phoenix, Arizona. He reported on the state of American democracy going into the 2024 presidential election, specifically on intimidation and harassment that election workers experienced across the country during and after the 2020 presidential election. The work of his colleagues and himself resulted in a documentary that was aired by PBS and won multiple awards.

Marshal is excited to serve the East Texas community.
