Cherise Leclerc Career

Cherise Leclerc is an award-winning journalist, she anchors the weekend newscasts at 5, 6, 10 and 11 p.m. as well as reporting during the week. Cherise began her broadcast career as a production intern at the local PBS affiliate in Springfield, WGBY. There, she got the broadcast bug and it stuck ever since. As an intern, she reported on the devastating aftermath of the June 2011 tornado, including an interview with then-Senator John Kerry who was touring a storm shelter. The news team’s coverage would eventually lead to winning the regional and then national Edward R. Murrow Award for breaking news coverage.

She rose through the ranks in Springfield, eventually becoming an anchor of the 4, 6 and 11 p.m. broadcasts, while also working to keep a close relationship with the viewers of Western Mass. During her time as an anchor, Cherise reported on the rebuilding of Springfield following the tornado, the historic decision to legalize casino gaming in Massachusetts and subsequent development of MGM Springfield, the manhunt following the Boston Marathon bombing and an explosion in downtown Springfield among many other stories important to the community.

She was also first to break the story that a gun linked to former Patriots player Aaron Hernandez was found in a car during a traffic stop in Springfield. After anchoring through coverage of a deadly hospital standoff and breaking details while on the anchor desk through sources, Cherise and the team working that night were awarded best spot news coverage from the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association.

What kind of phone do you have, and what are your favorite apps?
I have an iPhone 6 and I must admit I’m a Twitter addict I’m also trying to get better at Instagram (it’s a work in progress) and I love the Netflix app.

 Favorite and least favorite news topics to cover (besides violent crime)?
Anyone at the news station knows I love a good story about a veteran. Any story that requires creative storytelling really. I’m not so much a fan of covering politics but I’m trying to get better at it.

If you weren’t working in TV news, what would you be doing?
This is a tough one. I always said if I wasn’t a reporter I’d have grown up to be an astronaut. But (more realistically) it would have to be something where I’d get to travel. Does working for the travel channel count as different from TV news?

What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
Without a doubt My Little Pony Tales

When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?
If I’m at home I love taking my dog, Leila out for a quick adventure. She loves to meet new people and go for walks. It’s relaxing.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?
I have always wanted to travel to Egypt and see the great pyramids and explore there. I studied abroad in Barcelona so I’d love to go back.

Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would you want as a dinner guest?
It’s hard to choose just one- I’d have to say, Oprah. She’s a TV icon, has met the most exciting and influential people in the world and is a billionaire – I’d love to pick her brain!

Do you collect anything?
Shoes.

What are the top 3 played songs on your iPod?
Zac Brown Band a lot of Mumford and Sons, mix in a little of Spice Girls greatest hits. I like to change it up.

What is one of your favorite quotes?
“Never, never, never give up” – Winston Churchill (this is what I repeat to myself when gathering MOS [man on the street] interviews)

What was the last experience that made you a stronger person?
It’s never easy when a local news story touches you on a personal level. Almost two years ago I lost a great friend in a horrible crime. Not only did I live it and grieve that loss personally, but I also had to read about it, report on it and learn sordid details. It was a hard time and it continues to pop up but it also makes me think of her often and reminisce about the fun we had. It puts life’s trials into perspective for me.
