I live in Washington, DC, so we've got plenty of famous people who work here...

It may not be a person, per se, but Adelaide, South Australia, where I grew up, is responsible for News Corporation. I know Rupert Murdoch lived in Adelaide for a long time and his father (the creator of News Ltd./News Corp.) was based there, but I think Rupert was born in Melbourne...
