I'm a Pittsburgh native, proud to call the The Lone Star State my new home.
I come to London Broadcasting's Texas News Network from Charlottesville, Virginia where I worked as an anchor/reporter for the Charlottesville Newsplex (WCAV, WVAW, WAHU). Each week, I was also responsible for a feature called Jennifer's Heroes. These human interest stories put some of the community's unsung heroes in the spotlight.
Prior to working in Virginia, I worked as a reporter for the FOX and ABC affiliate in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
While in college at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) I completed an internship with WPXI in Pittsburgh. That is where I obtained an exclusive interview with Oprah. I studied Communications Media and Journalism at IUP. I also anchored for my college news station, attended several conventions with the National Broadcasting Society and was a member of IUP's dance team, Dance Explosion.
My love of news is matched by my love of family, friends and her three dogs.
I would love to help share your story. Email me at jblack@kcentv.com
