About 

  • Nadia Romero is a national correspondent based at CNN's global headquarters in Atlanta.

    Romero joined the network as a correspondent for CNN Newsource in 2019 where she led the department's 2020 election coverage on the campaign trail for the Iowa Caucuses, New Hampshire Primary, Nevada Caucuses, South Carolina Primary and Super Tuesday. In the lead up to the election, she traveled to every presidential and vice-presidential debate and reported live on Election Day from Washington, D.C., covering Former President Donald Trump's campaign.

    No stranger to major storms, Romero brought exclusive content to CNN affiliates from the storm-ravaged Bahamas after category five Hurricane Dorian ripped through the country. She was the first Newsource Correspondent on the ground reporting on the murder of George Floyd, live from Minneapolis when the police department's third precinct was burned down during protests. Romero has dedicated much of her reporting over the last several years to issues that impact the Black and Latino communities, while also working to give a voice to sex abuse survivors.

    Before CNN, Romero was at KCPQ-TV Q13 News in Seattle, where she anchored newscasts and reported lead and enterprise stories. She was also an anchor/reporter for KTVX ABC 4 in Salt Lake City; KCRG TV9 in Cedar Rapids; WSJV FOX 28 in Elkhart, IN; and a weekend reporter for WSYR News Channel 9 in Syracuse. She is an award-winning journalist first hitting the campaign trail covering the 2012 Republican Primary in Iowa. She was the first black primary anchor in Utah and was featured in ESSENCE magazine and on the Meredith Vieira Show.

    Romero graduated from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism and Spanish.
