After graduating from Trinity, Uma Pemmaraju worked at a local Dallas news station and then moved to another station in Baltimore, where she won a local Emmy for her reporting of a child who nearly drowned, per The Boston Globe. Pemmarju went on to teach at Harvard University, the Institute of Politics, Kennedy School of Government Graduate Studies, and Boston’s Emerson College Journalism School, her LinkedIn notes. She also worked for WBZ and CBS Boston, and she was named Boston’s Best Anchor in 1996 and 1997, via AdWeek.
Pemmaraju moved to New York to join Fox News as an anchor when the network launched on October 7, 1996, at a time when there were few other Indian-American news anchors on a national network, Fox News notes. She started as the host of “Fox News Now” and she also anchored “The Fox Report.”
She told The Boston Globe in 1993 what it was about her career as a reporter and newscaster that was most meaningful to her, saying, “I’m a conduit to help other people. I don’t want to sound too sentimental. But that’s what I’m about. I want to use my celebrity to help people, to help bring about something that needs to be done.”
