Alisyn Camerota is an award-winning journalist and author. She spent ten years anchoring and reporting the news on CNN, primarily as the longest-serving anchor of the network’s marque morning show, New Day. Alisyn also hosted a dozen CNN primetime specials on subjects such as fraternity hazing and sexual assault. Before CNN, Alisyn was an anchor and correspondent at the FOX News Channel, mainly as part of the FOX+Friends franchise. In her three decades in journalism, Alisyn has covered major stories nationally and internationally, earning two Emmy Awards for breaking news coverage. She also received the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for coverage of Hurricane Maria’s impact on Puerto Rico, and a DuPont-Columbia Award for coverage of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Alisyn was on-scene for the most pressing news events of our time, including the Covid-19 pandemic, deadly hurricanes, terror attacks, and too many tragic school shootings to count. Her interviews with the Parkland student survivors in the hours after that massacre, as well as with the NRA, became integral parts of the national conversation on gun safety. During the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, Alisyn’s Voter Panels were must-see viral moments. Alisyn also spent five years as a crime reporter on the show America’s Most Wanted. Her first job was working for Ted Koppel to produce his Koppel Reports at ABC News. Alisyn is grateful to have gotten the chance to interview scores of world leaders and cultural icons, everyone from Donald Trump to the band members of KISS. Alisyn’s debut novel, Amanda Wakes Up, was selected by National Public Radio as one of the best books of 2017, and by Oprah Magazine as “a must read.” Her new memoir Combat Love, set in the glorious and gritty 1980s during her time as a teenage punk rock fangirl, was published in March and instantly became an Amazon bestseller. Alisyn is also a bestseller on Substack where she writes about having to reinvent her life. She is the host of the Sanity podcast, designed to keep us sane during this challenging time. It can be found on YouTube and Spotify. Alisyn is on the Dean’s Advisory Council of her alma mater, American University’s School of Communications. She is a former volunteer with the News Literacy Project; she won its John S. Carroll Journalist of the Year Award in 2021.
