She has served as LA correspondent for Dwell and the New York Times.

In 2009 she was made an honorary member of the AIA/LA.
Ms. Anderton has been featured on TV and documentary films, including KCET’s, Global LA about John Parkinson’s work in LA, to coincide with the 2012 Olympics, and KCET’s Departures series, about architecture in Venice, CA. She was featured in the documentary films Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman, and A Necessary Ruin: The Story of Buckminster Fuller and the Union Tank Car Dome.
She has also produced radio documentaries for KCRW, including An Icon Is Born, about the making of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, winner of Golden Mike and LA Press awards; and United States of Los Angeles, a yearlong series of radio documentaries that won the L.A.

After the Rodney King riots, she heard Which Way, LA? and determined to work on that show. She brought her love of design and architecture to KCRW, with DnA, and believes her background in politics and current affairs gives her a unique vantage point on architecture and design.
