María de la Soledad Teresa O’Brien

She was the anchor of CNN’s morning news program Starting Point, which premiered on January 2, 2012,^[6] until it was announced on February 21, 2013, that she would end that post to start the Starfish Media Group production company.^[7]

Along with Early Start, Starting Point replaced American Morning, which aired from 2001 to 2011. O’Brien co-anchored American Morning from July 2003^[8] to April 2007, with Miles O’Brien (no relation).

Television career

Soledad O’Brien began her career as an associate producer and news writer at WBZ-TV, then the NBC affiliate in Boston. She joined NBC News in 1991 and was based in New York as a field producer for the Nightly News and Today. She then worked for three years as a local reporter and bureau chief for San Francisco NBC affiliate KRON. At KRON she was a reporter on “The Know Zone.” The program later moved to CNET without O’Brien.

O’Brien was featured on a regular segment of the Discovery Channel program The Next Step, holding the position of “Sun Microsystems Infogal.”

NBC News

Starting in 1996 and during the dot-com boom, O’Brien anchored MSNBC’s weekend morning show and the cable network’s award-winning technology program The Site, which aired weeknights from the spring of 1996 to November 1997. The show was unique in that she interacted with a virtual character Dev Null, played by Leo Laporte in a motion capture suit.

O’Brien co-anchored Weekend Today with David Bloom beginning July 1999. During that time she contributed reports for the weekday Today Show and for weekend editions of NBC Nightly News. She also covered such notable stories as John F. Kennedy Jr.’s plane crash and the 1990s school shootings in Colorado and Oregon.

CNN

American Morning

O’Brien moved to CNN, where she joined Miles O’Brien to co-anchor CNN’s flagship morning program American Morning from New York City in July 2003. In 2005 she covered the Hurricane Katrina aftermath in New Orleans, where she interviewed then head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Michael Brown. On April 16, 2007, reportedly owing to lagging ratings, O’Brien was replaced by former Fox News anchor Kiran Chetry (O’Brien’s co-host at the time, Miles O’Brien, was replaced as well; former co-host Bill Hemmer had previously moved to Fox News).

Post-American Morning

O’Brien has recently completed a documentary entitled Latino In America, documenting the lives of Latinos living in America. She continues to work as a reporter for CNN,^[18] mainly hosting “In America” documentaries and occasionally filling in for Anderson Cooper on Anderson Cooper 360. She also anchored exit poll coverage during CNN’s coverage of the primaries and caucuses in the 2008 United States presidential race. She also has filled in for Paula Zahn on Paula Zahn Now whenever Zahn was unable to make the broadcast (Zahn has since stopped working for CNN, as of August 2, 2007).

O’Brien anchored a CNN special, Black in America, in July 2007. The program documented the successes, struggles, and complex issues faced by black men, women and families 40 years after the death of Martin Luther King Jr. In the first installment, O’Brien investigated how James Earl Ray, an armed robber and escaped convict, had already spent a year on the run just a month before his path collided with Dr. King in Memphis, Tennessee. In “The Black Woman & Family,” O’Brien explored the varied experiences of black women and families and investigated the disturbing statistics of single parenthood, racial disparities between students, and the devastating toll of HIV/AIDS. The fifth installment of the Black in America series aired in December 2012.

On September 8, 2008, FactCheck.org said that O’Brien had inaccurately asserted during an interview with a McCain campaign spokesman that vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, as governor of Alaska, had slashed the special education budget by 62 percent when in fact she had increased it.^[19]

She has been accused numerous times of liberal bias by conservative guests, including John Sununu.^[20]

Starting Point

In 2011 CNN canceled American Morning and replaced it with two new programs, Early Start and Starting Point. O’Brien began anchoring Starting Point on January 2, 2012.^[21]

It was announced February 21, 2013, that O’Brien was leaving Starting Point and starting the Starfish Media Group production company.^[7]

March 29, 2013, was her last day on air at CNN as an anchor.

HBO

Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel

It was announced on June 12, 2013, that O’Brien was joining HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel sports newsmagazine. In addition, O’Brien’s Starfish Media Group signed a deal granting HBO “first look” rights for new programs or concepts it develops.^[22]

Television documentaries

On July 1, 2013, it was announced that Soledad O’Brien’s Starfish Media Group would produce a series of hour-long documentary specials for Al Jazeera America.^[23]

Honors and recognition

In April 2008 O’Brien became the first recipient of the Soledad O’Brien Freedom’s Voice Award, an award created in her name by Morehouse School of Medicine “to recognize outstanding catalysts for social change.”^[24]

O’Brien has won an Emmy award for co-hosting the Discovery Channel’s The Know Zone. In 2007 she was honored with the NAACP President’s Award.^[25]

O’Brien won the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Goodermote Humanitarian Award in 2008 for her reporting of Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami^[26] “Ms. O’Brien has shown the world tragedies of human conflict, natural disasters, chronic and infectious diseases,” said Michael J. Klag, MD, MPH, dean of the Bloomberg School of Public Health.

She is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists, which named her the Journalist of the Year 2010^[27] and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. O’Brien is also a member of the board of directors of The After-School Corporation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for all students. She also serves on the board of directors of The Harlem School of the Arts. O’Brien was inducted as an honorary member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority in February 2011.^[28]

O’Brien has given several keynote speeches over the years, including the undergraduate commencement at Bryant University in May 2007, where she was presented with a Doctor of Humane Letters honorary degree,^[29] the convocation speech at Cornell Universitycs Commencement in May 2007, a speech at Binghamton University commencement in December 2007, and the keynote speech at the 2008 annual National Association of Student Personnel Administrators conference in Boston, Mass., in March 2008.

In 2006 she was featured in the Newsweek cover story “15 People Who Make America Great.”^[25] She has been named in People’s 50 Most Beautiful in 2001 and in People en Español′s 50 Most Beautiful in 2004. She was named to Irish American Magazine′s “Top 100 Irish Americans” on two occasions. She is also on Black Enterprise magazine’s 2005 Hot List. Also in 2005, she was awarded Groundbreaking Latina of the Year award by Catalina magazine.

On May 18, 2014, she was the Commencement speaker at Spelman College (Atlanta, GA) ,and was awarded the honorary degree, Doctor of Human letters.
