Kimberly Brooks Education
She graduated from Northwestern University and received my M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University. Brooks loves to talk about her new project “O Girls”.
The project is really a full circle moment for me – check out the trailer here. After graduating from college, she nabbed her first job in TV working as an assistant at “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
Six months later, she learned Oprah would be returning to her new Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. Knowing it would be the opportunity of a lifetime, I penned Oprah a bold letter asking to go on the trip. Oprah took a chance and said yes.

I’m very happy to announce that Kimberly Brooks is joining us as of today as anchor and reporter for ABC News Live, our 24/7 breaking news and live events streaming channel.
You will begin seeing Kimberly this morning, hosting “The Debrief” at 11 a.m. From here on out she will be anchoring much of the channel’s breaking news coverage from New York.

Moving forward, Kimberly will continue to co-anchor “Nightline on Fusion,” a weekly extension of “Nightline,” with our very own Gio Benitez.
Kimberly is a versatile journalist with smart, thoughtful instincts. She got her start here at ABC News as a fellow who worked on stories for “World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer,” “Good Morning America” and “Nightline.”
She has also done time as a producer at NBC and attended both Northwestern and Columbia. When not reporting, Kimberly travels often and is a vocal advocate for self-care and mental wellness. She will report to Katie den Daas, Managing Editor – ABC News Live.
Since the network launched ABC News Live a mere 10 months ago, we’re already seeing that there is a distinct and hungry demand for straightforward news in the streaming world, from both viewers and platform partners.
ABC News Live is currently up and running 24/7 on our website, phone apps, Roku, Hulu, Apple TV and Amazon FireTV. You’ll also find it on Facebook, Apple News, Twitter, and Periscope when news breaks and during interesting events.
The best part: The hard work and collaboration required to get ABC News Live off the ground are paying off. There has been triple-digit percentage growth in viewership (+309%) and streaming hours (+235%) since its launch.
In sum, people are watching, which means ABC News Live is fulfilling its promise of becoming a crucial place for viewers — especially cord-cutters who don’t watch linear TV — to see the outstanding journalism we do here at ABC News each and every day.
None of this would be possible without the good-humored dedication of David Reiter (who serves as head of programming), Katie den Daas, and the rest of the core ABC News Live team — as well as your absolutely incredible contributions from throughout the news division.
