Berlie joined NewsNation as an anchor in 2020, when the brand was simply a three-hour primetime newscast on WGN America, and not yet a national cable news outlet. Berlie had served as a weekend evening co-anchor and general assignment reporter for WCVB in Boston from 2016 to 2020. Prior to that, she spent time as a weekday morning anchor at KSDK in St. Louis, and five years as a weekday morning anchor at KETV-TV in Omaha, Neb.
