In an interview with Erie News Now, Emily Matson talked about her journey as a journalist and new broadcaster over the past 20 years.
“I started my career with WICU 12 working the wee hours of the night. For the first two years of my career, I produced the morning show with Mark Soliday. I was sad to leave the morning crew, but excited when offered the reporter job I’d been striving for.” She Said.
“As a general assignment reporter, I focused on the crime beat since my first day on the job, and I love it! I feel I’m really making a difference in the Erie community, meeting new people, and telling the stories that affect everybody every day.
One of the things I love about my job is that no single day is EVER the same. I love breaking news situations. In fact, twice I received an “Outstanding Spot News” award from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters.
You’ll find me now on the anchor desk at 7:00 and 11:00. Having fun at 7:00 with John Stehlin talking about the trending stories of the day, then sitting beside Mike Ruzzi for Erie’s #1 nightly newscast!
But you won’t always see me just sitting behind the desk, I love the opportunity to get out and continue telling stories in the community.
I’ve been with Erie News Now for 17 years now, and I absolutely love having the opportunity as a journalist to tell the stories which matter to YOU. Please feel free to email with your story ideas.” She concluded.
