Alisyn Camerota is a journalist, author, anchor, and correspondent for CNN. In her three decades in journalism, Camerota has covered stories nationally and internationally, earning two Emmy Awards for her breaking news coverage of the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder and the on-air arrest of Roger Stone. She has also received the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for her breaking news coverage of Hurricane Maria’s impact on Puerto Rico, and a duPont-Columbia Award for her coverage of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

Since joining CNN in 2014, Alisyn has been on the ground for the most pressing news events, including deadly hurricanes, the Paris and Brussels terror attacks, and the Uvalde and Parkland school shootings. 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. In covering the 2016 and 2020 president elections, Alisyn’s Voter Panels were must-see viral moments. As a leading voice in the #MeToo movement, Alisyn helped to provide the #SilenceBreakers with a platform to tell their stories.

Camerota has also anchored a number of CNN primetime specials, including “Tipping Point: Sexual Harassment in America” and "Deadly Haze: Fraternity Hazing on College Campuses" and “Toxic: The Story of Britney Spears Conservatorship.” She is on the national advisory council of The News Literacy Project, which works to teach middle and high school students how to spot misinformation and fake news.

Alisyn attended American University on a Presidential scholarship, graduating cum laude in Broadcast Journalism. 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 memoir Combat Love was published in March 2024 and instantly became an Amazon bestseller.
