Fox News Signs Christina Coleman As Correspondent

Fox News Channel today named former KSDK St. Louis reporter Christina Coleman a general assignment reporter in FNC’s Los Angeles bureau beginning April 29.

Since 2014, Coleman has been an anchor and lead night beat reporter for Tegna’s NBC affiliate KSDK, specializing in community reporting. While there, Coleman covered events in Ferguson, Mo., following the death of Michael Brown. She was one the first journalists on the scene of the riots days after the unarmed teenager was shot and killed. Additionally, Coleman traveled to Geneva, Switzerland to cover Brown’s parents as they testified before the United Nations Committee Against Torture.

Prior to this, Coleman worked as a local correspondent at both KABB and WOAI in her hometown of San Antonio, Texas. During that time, she played an active role as a member of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), serving as vice president of the San Antonio Chapter.

Before this, Coleman was a reporter at KCEN Waco, Texas, where she was on location at Fort Hood to report on one of the deadliest mass shootings at a military base in the United States.

She began her career as a reporter at KIMO Anchorage, Alaska, where she contributed to the station’s evening newscast. During her time in Alaska, she frequently interviewed then-governor and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Coleman is a graduate of Texas A&M University, where she received a bachelor’s degree in speech communication.
