RESUME

Professional â€‹

summary
 

I have worked in news media for more than 15 years. Each year brings me new and exciting experiences. Currently, I am the weekend morning anchor for KING 5 in Seattle.

 

Before joining KING 5, I was the CBS5 This Morning & Noon anchor in Syracuse at WTVH.  Previously, I was the weekday morning reporter for NewsChannel 9 in Syracuse. Before that, I was the national social media manager for Time Warner Cable’s Local Programming Division where I support the TWC News, TWC SportsChannel and TWC Community brands.

 

Previously, I was the editor of Syracuse Woman Magazine, a position I held for four years before accepting a career opportunity with TWC News. I helped launch SWM, a magazine focused on providing editorial content that inspires, educates and entertains. I also have TV and social media management experience. Emceeing events, moderating panels and speaking about my profession and various charitable causes are a bonus in my career. Get to know me and my career interests by following me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram at @FarahJadran.
