  • Alisyn Camerota “A Television Journalist’S Struggle for Truth”
    RETIRED MEN'S ASSOCIATION OF GREENWICH, Inc. (RMA) Invites you to its meeting May 9, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. First Presbyterian Church, Lafayette Place, Greenwich, CT Alisyn Camerota “A Television Journalist’s Struggle for Truth” Alisyn Camerota is a journalist and anchor of CNN's morning show "New Day.” In her three decades in journalism, Camerota has covered stories nationally and internationally, earning Alisyn two Emmy award nominations for her breaking news reporting. Ms. Camerota will discuss what it’s like to be a journalist in today’s hyper-charged world of broadcast news, addressing what is “truth,” and the daily struggles of journalists to get it right in a ratings-driven climate. As an award-winning journalist, Alisyn knows about the fast- paced world of cable news and will be speaking about her new novel Amanda Wakes Up. Alisyn has been at the forefront of today’s most pressing news events, including the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, the Paris and Brussels terror attacks, and the Parkland, FL school shooting. Her recent interviews with the student survivors in the hours after the massacre, as well as the NRA, have been an integral part of the national conversation on gun safety. In addition, during the election and since Alisyn has held dozens of panels with Trump supporters that have become must-see television moments. As a leading voice of the #MeToo movement, Alisyn has helped to provide the #SilenceBreakers with a platform to tell their stories. Outside of her role anchoring “New Day,” Camerota has anchored a number of primetime specials, including “Tipping Point: Sexual Harassment in America,” and "The Hunting Ground: Sexual Assault on Campus." A national advisory council member of The News Literacy Project and an Advisory Member of Press Forward, Alisyn is an outspoken proponent of First Amendment Rights.
