Brooke Baldwin was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1979, and she began her journalism career with WVIR-TV in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2001 and later became an anchor in West Virginia and Washington DC. She joined CNN and hosted CNN Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin, and she was nominated for an Emmy after covering Eric Garner's 2014 death. In 2015, she hosted a town hall on gun violence in Washington DC, and, while she covered Donald Trump's presidential inauguration on 20 January 2017, she criticized Trump and the indecency which he brought to American politics. On 5 August 2019, in the aftermath of a mass shooting in Dayton which left 9 dead and 37 wounded, she called for viewers of her show to call their representatives and demand action on gun control; she said that, in 30 seconds - the same time it took for the gunman to kill his victims and for the police to take him down - her viewers could make a difference.
