Marion Brooks NBC5 Career
Brooks is an award-winning NBC5 anchor and reporter. After working as an anchor and reporter, she joined NBC5 in 1998. She currently anchors NBC5 News at 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and is a member of the NBC5 Investigative Reporting team. Brooks’ enthusiasm for reporting and narrating has drawn her to social and criminal equity issues in her insightful work. Her organization of Sex Trafficking reports in Chicago in 2014 earned her a few honors, including national recognition from the Alliance for Women in Media (Gracie) and a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award.
Her profession has crossed more than a few areas and market estimates in the country. Starting at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune in Sarasota, Fla., Brooks took in the publicizing side of news coverage in an administration preparing the program for the New York Times Newspaper Group. Her first employment in communicating was in radio at WGST, a news talk station in Atlanta, in the section level sort of occupation that presented her to the extended periods, difficult work, and adrenaline surges of newsgathering. She acknowledges this experience for hardening her craving to fill in as a columnist.
Her first TV work took her to probably the least fortunate area in the country, the Mississippi Delta. From that point her profession twisted through business sectors around the country with stops in Jacksonville, Fla., St. Louis, Mo., Atlanta, Ga., and Chicago. She’s covered everything from significant catastrophic events to governmental issues, wrongdoing and courts to wellbeing, consumer issues to two Olympic Games, and much in the middle.
