The Real World

The first job Morales held after graduating from college wasn’t in the field she wanted to pursue—journalism—but it was nevertheless a career. And one in the center of it all, New York City, where she initially found work as a journalist.

For News 12 in the Bronx, where Morales became the first morning news anchor, she had the chance to work as a camera operator, editor, and producer, among other positions.

Following that, Morales worked as a news reporter for WVIT-TV in Hartford, Connecticut, a much larger station in a much larger area. Reporting assignments for Morales included the Colorado Columbine shootings, Hurricane Floyd, the contentious 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, and the September 11 attacks.

The NBC cable news station MSNBC was Morales’s next stop, where she worked as an anchor and correspondent from 2002 to 2006. She was able to research several breaking news stories there, such as the 2003 Northeast Blackout, the Space Shuttle Columbia catastrophe, and the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners. Producers of the Today Show took notice of her, and in 2006 they encouraged her to become a national reporter for the program.

By 2008, Morales had switched from serving as a correspondent to serving as co-anchor of the third hour of the show. Morales advanced to the news anchor desk two years later, in 2011, after Ann Curry was named co-anchor following Meredith Vieira’s departure, a position she still maintains today.
