Member Profile: Christina Brown

Broadcast Journalist, Producer

Christina Brown is an Emmy award-winning anchor and journalist. She was a host of the Early Today morning show for NBC News as well as First Look on MSNBC cable network and contributed to NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. She is a military veteran and member of the Producers Guild of America-East Veterans Initiative.

In many ways, one could say Brown turned in her M-16 for a microphone and in doing so, accepted a different kind of responsibility. As a journalist, she is a witness to the events that shape people's lives. Brown's journey into television news began as a military broadcaster. She began her radio and television career after enlisting in the U.S. Air Force.

Brown joined the military and spent two years as a military broadcaster, reporting for American Forces Network from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. She later returned to the United States and moved to Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, to join Air Force Television News as an anchor and reporter.

Following her time at Air Force Television News, Brown moved to El Paso, Texas, to join KTSM, the NBC affiliate, where she spent two years as an anchor and reporter. While at KTSM, she reported on military and justice affairs, as well anchoring daily newscasts. After two years in El Paso, Brown moved to Las Vegas, where she joined ABC affiliate KTNV.

She spent five years in Las Vegas, before joining NBC News and MSNBC as an anchor and correspondent.

Brown has received numerous awards, including an Emmy, a Texas Associated Press first place award for spot news coverage and the Air Force Commendation Medal.

Brown served as a member of the New York Association of Black Journalists as well as President and later Vice President of Broadcast for the Las Vegas Association of Black Journalists. She is a member of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and she serves on the board for New York Women in Film and Television. Since launching Christina Brown Entertainment Inc., Brown's focus centers on developing and producing original content.
