Anchor / Reporters

Dawn Hasbrouck

Dawn Hasbrouck is co-anchor of WBZ-TV News' weekend newscasts at 6PM and 11PM with co-anchor Ken MacLeod. She is also an Emmy-nominated reporter who reports three days a week on WBZ-TV News and contributes to WBZ-TV News on TV38.

Hasbrouck joined WBZ-TV in February 2007 from WFSB-TV (CBS) in Hartford, CT where she spent three years as the weekday anchor on the station's top-rated morning and noon newscasts. She was also the station's medical reporter. Before WFSB-TV, Hasbrouck was the weekend morning anchor at WITI-TV (Fox) in Milwaukee, WI. She began her career at WTGS-TV (Fox) in Savannah, GA.

Hasbrouck graduated with a B.A. degree in Public Policy from Duke University and went on to receive a M.S. degree in Journalism from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. Dawn was recently inducted into Northwestern University's "Council of 100", a group of the top female graduates of Northwestern who return to the school to mentor young women interested in a number of professions. She is also a graduate of St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago, IL.

Six months after moving to Boston, Dawn was honored by the Boston Business Journal and named to its Top 40 under 40 list. The award is designed to recognize Greater Boston's next generation of successful leaders who are under 40 years old. Honorees are chosen based on their career accomplishments and their involvement in the community.

Born and raised in Chicago, Hasbrouck is an accomplished performer having studied opera for nine years, and she enjoys fine arts almost as much as she enjoys volunteering for youth organizations and mentoring programs. And here's something you don't hear everyday…both Hasbrouck and her husband, Ronald Johnson, are twins. They live in the Greater Boston area with their son.


Boston's WBZ-TV is owned and operated by CBS Television Stations a division of CBS Corporation.
