Named after long-time journalist and former television news anchor Emerald Yeh, Emerald Morrow never knew she'd follow a similar path as her namesake.
But she did, and she's thrilled to be a reporter for the 6 News team.
Prior to planting herself in Mid-Michigan, Emerald worked as an online news producer for KMOV-TV in her hometown of St. Louis. She is also a freelance magazine writer, with articles appearing in Black Enterprise magazine, Crain's BtoB magazine, Black MBA magazine and Medill Magazine.
Other professional experiences include field producing for the broadcast division of the Associated Press during the 2008 Democratic National Convention. She has also taught writing and interpersonal communications to high school students through the University of Missouri – St. Louis.
However, it's at the Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism (Go ‘Cats!) that Emerald honed her reporting skills. There she earned both her bachelor's and master's degree in magazine and broadcast journalism, respectively.
Emerald looks forward to learning more about the community and hopes to make a difference by telling stories that matter to 6 News viewers. If you have a news tip or story idea you'd like to share, please email her at emorrow@wlns.com.
