Rebecca Stewart
Rebecca came to Fox 61 in 2003 from WSLS Newschannel Ten, the NBC affiliate in Roanoke, Virginia where she reported and anchored both the top-rated morning show and Newschannel Ten at Noon. Rebecca started her reporting endeavors in print, thousands of miles away. In Buenos Aires, Argentina-- Rebecca was an assistant editor at the only English daily there, The Buenos Aires Herald.
Rebecca returned to the United States to pursue her Master's at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. As part of the Medill program, she had a chance to work for several stations across the country-- all while based at the school's Washington D.C. bureau. There, she filed stories for KNOE-TV8 News in Monroe, Louisiana, for WHO-AM Radio in Des Moines, Iowa, and also for NY1 News in New York City.
A few years ago, Rebecca began teaching an introductory broadcast course at Hollins University. One semester quickly turned into two. Here in Connecticut, Rebecca works with Master's students at Quinnipiac University in Hamden.
Although she's thrilled to be back in the Northeast, the winters leave her cold. Literally! In warmer weather, you'll find Rebecca and family (husband, dog and two cats) taking full advantage of everything New England offers.
Rebecca holds Bachelors degrees in both Communications and Theatre Arts from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master's from Northwestern. She and her husband (Newschannel 8 reporter) Jamie Muro live in West Hartford.
