Business Wire
Sinclair Broadcast Group (Nasdaq: SBGI) today announced
award-winning journalist Angie Moreschi has joined “Spotlight on
America,” Sinclair’s award-winning national investigative team.
“Spotlight on America,” produces original accountability and
enterprise reports and specials that air across 70+ ABC, CBS, NBC,
FOX, CW and MyNet stations nationwide, as well as on Sinclair’s The
National Desk (TND).
Moreschi joins Sinclair from WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh, the NBC
affiliate in her hometown, where her reporting on the nursing home
crisis during COVID won a prestigious Edward R. Murrow
Investigative Reporting Award and the Pennsylvania Association of
Broadcasters Award for Outstanding Television Investigative
Series.
Her work has also led to new legislation. While at WPXI, she
exposed that tens of thousands of Pennsylvania Turnpike drivers
were receiving penalty fees for years without being notified when
their E-ZPass transponders failed to work properly. Her year-long
reporting on this issue led to the E-ZPass Transparency Law that
passed unanimously by the PA State Legislature in 2022.
Throughout her career, Moreschi has been honored with an IRE
Medal, a National Headliner award, an Edward R. Murrow award, 15
Emmy awards, and dozens of regional and local awards.
“Angie is a seasoned journalist, her relentless reporting on
public issues has led to a successful track record of bringing
about change and reform. We are thrilled she will be bringing her
skills to our investigative team at 'Spotlight on America,'” said
Scott Livingston, SVP News, Sinclair.
Previously, Moreschi worked at WFTS in Tampa, WTHR in
Indianapolis, WTAE in Pittsburgh, and WISN in Milwaukee. She also
hosted and produced a weekly consumer segment, called Consumer Wise
on Bay News 9 in Tampa and Central Florida News 13 in Orlando, and
hosted and produced stories for Smart Health, a magazine-style
program on health issues which aired on PBS stations throughout
Florida.
“Making a difference and helping people are the reasons why I do
this. I am honored to join the incredible Spotlight team and can’t
wait to put my skills to work uncovering important local stories
that have national impact,” said Moreschi.
She received her bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism and
Political Science from Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School
of Public Communications.
