Megan Cloherty

I am a broadcast journalist with 23 years of experience finding enterprise stories, writing dynamic scripts, and delivering a strong on-air product on deadline.

I love scuba diving, reading, adding to my houseplant collection and hanging with my family. I also have a Welsh terrier, who I am pretty obsessed with. You’ll find my full updated resume at this link.

 

I am not afraid of a data set, love a fresh court document, and enjoy digging to add context to my stories. My favorite story is the one that makes a change. That can be changing the world of just one person by getting them out from under an unfair billing agreement, for example, or by informing an entire community about the trial of a man accused of killing their neighbor. Both instances are life-changing and important. I consider my role in reporting the truth a responsibility, no matter the size of the impact.

 

After working in my first two markets, I returned to my hometown of Washington, D.C. and earned my master’s in Interactive Journalism. With that degree, I honed my expertise in reformatting TV/radio/podcast content for the digital medium at stations in D.C. and Colorado. I have created and hosted four successful news podcasts, which I also wrote, voiced, and edited. 

 

Now, I am a hybrid investigative and daily reporter at WRAL News in Raleigh, North Carolina, where I also anchor.
