Renowned American television news reporter and anchor Julie Banderas has received praise for her work on Fox News Channel.
Many prominent shows, like “America’s News Headquarters” and “Fox Report Weekend,” have been hosted by her throughout her successful journalism career. Â
Who is Julie Banderas?
Fox News Channel anchor and correspondent Julie Banderas was born and raised in the United States. Both “Fox Report Weekend” and “America’s News Headquarters” include her as an anchor at the moment. In addition to WNYW, she has worked for WLVI, WHSV, WFSB, WBRE, and WFSB-TV.
She joined Fox News Channel in 2005 as a general assignment reporter and was promoted to host of “Fox Report Weekend” in 2008. Julie Banderas has covered several high-profile stories over her career, including Hurricane Dennis, the case of Terri Schiavo, and the disappearance of US student Natalee Holloway.
Her 2004 coverage of the Republican National Convention earned her the Outstanding Single Newscast Emmy Award. Her scathing criticism of US President Donald Trump’s disparaging comment about another TV anchor garnered her widespread media attention.
Julie Banderas Career
Boston television station WLVI-TV was Julie Banderas’s first employer in the field of journalism. She became a local news anchor for WHSV-TV (ABC 3) in Harrisonburg, Virginia in 1997.Â
She stayed for a year and a half before becoming a news anchor and reporter for WBRE-TV (NBC 11) in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in 1999.Â
In Hartford, Connecticut, she was employed by WFSB-TV (CBS 3). She was the weekend host of New York’s WNYW-TV (FOX 5). She began working for FNC in March 2005 in the role of general assignment correspondent. Gradually, she worked her way up to the role of correspondent located in New York.
While at FNC, she gained fame for covering major stories, such as 2005’s Hurricane Dennis and the 2005 abduction of American student Natalee Holloway from Aruba. She covered the murder of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford by a sex offender as well as the court case of Terri Schiavo from Florida.Â
The on-air confrontation between her and Shirley Phelps-Roper, an American lawyer and ex-spokeswoman for the notoriously hateful Westboro Baptist Church—which has been known to incite violence against LGBT individuals, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, and US soldiers in June 2006 garnered her widespread media exposure across the world.
After Laurie Dhue stepped down as host of Fox Report Weekend in 2008, she took over the role. On Saturdays, she took over as host of America’s News Headquarters. Her 2010 promotion to general news correspondent was a major accomplishment.Â
Many people were grateful for her live coverage of several events in 2013, including the mayoral campaign in New York City, the crash landing of Southwest Flight 345 at LaGuardia Airport, the inauguration of Pope Francis, and Hurricane Sandy.Â
For the network, she also provided fitness and health-related stories.
