Quickly gained recognition
Washington DC TV reporter Holly Morris has had a remarkable career.
Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, the 54-year-old journalist graduated from Duke University in 1993 with a degree in civil engineering.
Holly Morris kicked off her career at WTTG, a Fox network outlet in Washington D.C., back in 1998. As part of a team of four anchors, she became a familiar face on the morning newscast and the Good Day DC show.
She quickly gained recognition for her hands-on approach to remote reporting, often diving right into the community events she covered — participating in the activities herself while delivering the latest news.
To gauge just how appreciated Holly Morris has been, all you need to do is look at her trophy shelf. Holly has won four regional Emmy Awards for ”Best Live Reporting,” along with a regional Edward R. Murrow Award.
But Holly Morris’ career hasn’t been without its share of controversies and awkward moments. In 2014, she took part in the viral Ice Bucket Challenge on Fox 5 to help raise awareness for ALS.
