CNN anchorwoman Frederika Whitfield

A lot of people can't think of one reason to watch CNN thee days. I can not only offer a reason to watch CNN, but it's also a reason to watch it on weekends. Her name is Frederika Whitfield.
:-)


A former NBC correspondent who was based in that network's Atlanta bureau, Frederika Whitfield now anchors the weekend edition of CNN newsroom. She got her start in broadcast journalism as a reporter and anchor for WPLG-TV in Miami and general assignment reporter at KTVT-TV in Dallas, among other stations.


Fun fact: She's the daughter of Olympic track star Mal Whitfield, who won two gold medals at the 1948 London Games and a third at Helsinki in 1952. Frederika Whitfield, appropriately enough, covered the 1996 Olympics in her adopted hometown of Atlanta for NBC.
