Nuria Esperanza Piera Gainza (born 29 June 1960) is a Dominican journalist specialized in investigative journalism. Piera is CEO of NCDN,[6] a news production company in CDN (channel 37); she is also owner of Provideo.[7][8]

Piera was born in Santo Domingo to immigrants from Spain: her mother was Basque and her father was Catalan.[3][9][10] Piera, whose father, José Enrique Piera Puig, was a journalist who was killed in 1970 by the authoritarian regime of Joaquín Balaguer, became orphan at 10 years old.[11] Nuria married journalist and broadcaster Pablo McKinney, from whose union was born Nuria’s only daughter, Leslie Paola McKinney.

In September 2013, an investigation of Piera revealed that the Papal Nuncio in Santo Domingo, Józef Wesołowski, whom Pope Francis had removed from office, had not been removed from office by the struggle he held for three years with Puerto Rican Cardinal Roberto González Nieves, as stated in the Italian and Dominican press and as had insinuated the archbishop of Santo Domingo Cardinal Nicolás de Jesús López Rodríguez,[12][13] but rather because he drank alcoholic beverages in areas of dubious reputation and also abused children and adolescent males,[14][15] emerging another scandal of pederasty in the Catholic Church.[16][17]

In 2014, EFE listed her as one of the most influential women in Ibero-America.[17][18]

(...) López Reyes sostuvo que el productor del programa "Puntos sobre las Ies" cayó abatido de siete disparos de armas calibre 38 y 9 milímetros, a las 7:30 de la noche del viernes 9 de octubre de 1970, en su residencia del ensanche Ozama, en presencia de su esposa Berna Gainza y sus hijas Sonia y Nuria, de 12 y 10 años de edad. (...) El ex presidente del CDP descalificó la versión de que el crimen fue obra de un tentáculo internacional, ni de Francisco Franco, motivado por un conflicto que tuvo con un alto funcionario de ese régimen, por sus ataques a éste, y por lo cual salió de España, donde nació.
