Reporter
A broadcast journalist since college, Cora-Ann Mihalik is a New Jersey native who joined WWOR-TV in 1998 and is a reporter for My9 News.
The Emmy award-winning anchor/reporter has the distinction of being the first female news anchor at three commercial television stations. Prior to My9, Mihalik co-anchored "The 10 O'clock news" on WNYW-TV/Fox 5 from 1987 until 1994. While there, she also was the original anchor for "Fox News at Seven" and joined Fox in 1986 as one of the originators of its syndicated TV show "A Current Affair." Mihalik also inaugurated Fox-TV's first national news updates and anchored Fox's first national coverage of the presidential nominating conventions.
Before returning to the Tri-state area, Mihalik was an anchor/reporter at WLS-TV in Chicago. After graduating William Paterson University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications, Mihalik was the first female anchor at three television stations in Springfield, Massachusetts; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Minneapolis, Minnesota. She also worked as an anchor/reporter at the CBS affiliate in Cleveland where she won the "Excellence in Journalism Award for Public Service Reporting" from the Cleveland Press Club. Mihalik has been a political talk show host, sportscaster, and weathercaster and made her TV debut on New Jersey's WWHT-TV while still in college.
Numerous commendations for journalism excellence include news Emmy awards for breaking news stories as well as outstanding public service awards from the Governors of Massachusetts and New York. She also was named "Role Model of the Year" by The United Neighborhood Centers, a national non-profit urban affairs group headquartered in Washington D.C. Her alma mater, William Patterson University presented her with its highest honor "The College President's Legacy Award."
Mihalik volunteers with the Big Sisters of America, Cancer Society, Leukemia Society, The Salvation Army and The Saint Jude Habilitation Institute. For nine consecutive years, she co-hosted the Jerry Lewis Telethons for Muscular Dystrophy. She was the TV host for the first national Leukemia Televent and was the first media spokeswoman for the now annual "The Race for the Cure" for breast cancer in Central Park. Other awards include "The Ellis Island Congressional Medal of Honor" and the New York Police Department's "Survivors of the Shield" for her work with police. Mihalik is married and has two children.
