CNN newswoman Whitney Wild

Whitney Wild is a recent addition to the CNN "family."


She covers law enforcement issues for the cable news channel.  She comes to CNN from WUSA-TV on Channel 9 in Washington, D.C., where she was part of the investigative team on that station's news department. Her story on discriminatory property advertising and rental practices against buyers and renters bearing housing vouchers subsidized by the federal government earned her a regional Emmy for her reporting and led Congress to expand protections against low-income Americans seeking houses or apartments.

Ms. Wild was also a reporter and anchor for KUSA-TV on Channel 9 in Denver (a coincidence, you'll agree and won a regional Emmy there for her story on the anniversary and the chance meeting of two survivors of a plane crash that occurred during the U.S. effort to rescue refugee children from Vietnam when the war there ended in 1975.  She started her career in Washington as a multimedia journalist at WJLA-TV.
