CNN has named KABC Los Angeles evening news anchor Veronica Miracle as a correspondent based in San Francisco, the network announced Friday.
Miracle anchored weekend evening newscasts and reported special projects and enterprise stories for LA’s ABC station. She covered live breaking national and local news, including the deadly shooting at a concert in Las Vegas, the flooding of Houston from Hurricane Harvey, and multiple wildfires in California. She was also part of the Oscars coverage for ABC’s nationally syndicated show.
Previously, Miracle was an anchor and reporter for KFSN in Fresno, Calif. In Fresno, a series of Miracle’s reports helped free a woman from jail after she was wrongfully accused of crimes she didn’t commit.
Miracle was born in Osaka, Japan, where most of her family still lives today and is conversationally fluent in Japanese.
