Michaela Pereira Career

Pereira serves at CNN as an anchor for the morning show New Day. Prior to this, she worked for KTLA-TV. There she served as an anchor for the KTLA morning news team in Los Angeles. Her very first television job was to host an afternoon magazine show called CHEK Around in 1993 in Victoria, B.C., Canada on CHEK-TV.

She also co-hosted a weekly entertainment show and did the noon newscast with the weather. When she joined ZDTV, a nationwide cable channel based out of San Francisco, Michaela moved to California in 1998. She co-hosted a regular show called Internet Tonight about tech and movies. A few years later, ZDTV became TechTV and Michaela started anchoring several hours of their tech coverage.

She went east to New York after 9 years as part of the KTLA Morning News, where she anchored CNN’s morning show ‘New Day.’ But California was calling again, and Michaela returned to Los Angeles after a three-year stint in the east, where she had her own regular national 2-hour show on HLN, the sister station of CNN.

She has been awarded many awards, including the Alliance for Women in Media’s Genii Award for Excellence in Journalism, the Hollywood Community Leadership Award from The Hollywood Police Activities League, and the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ Celebrity Philanthropist Award.

Michaela loves her adopted Southern California home and enjoys discovering all the region has to offer in her spare time; road trips to get apple pie in Julien, riding her bike along the Strand, or visiting one of the markets for local farmers.

Family is really important to her, so to see her, she also travels north to British Columbia. She is an adoptee, as are her many sisters, and because of this, Michaela is active in community groups helping young people who are disadvantaged. Pereira is a member of the Long Beach Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors and a member of the Optimist Youth Home Advisory Board, which offers programs to young people at risk.
