Early life and education

Lauren "Brooke" Baldwin was born in Atlanta, Georgia, where she attended The Westminster Schools. At the age of 13 she attended the United States Space Camp and served as commander of her mission there. The week, she said, "was incredibly cool."

Baldwin graduated with a double bachelor’s degree in journalism and Spanish from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She also studied at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City during her undergraduate years.

Career

Baldwin began her career at WVIR-TV in Charlottesville, Virginia, and later became the morning anchor at WOWK-TV in the Huntington, and Charleston, West Virginia, area. She later joined WTTG in Washington, D.C., as lead reporter for the 10 p.m. newscast.

CNN

Baldwin joined CNN and HLN networks in 2008. She was a contributor on Rick's List, hosted by Rick Sanchez, from the show’s inception in January 2010. When Sanchez was fired in October 2010 for making what some believed were antisemitic remarks, Baldwin filled in for him, eventually taking the time slot permanently. She now anchors CNN Newsroom from 2 to 4pm ET on weekdays. She hosts a weekly segment during her newscast hours known as #MusicMonday (named after the Twitter trend) profiling various musicians. Baldwin is the last anchor to broadcast from Atlanta on weekdays, before The Lead goes on air from Washington, D.C.

Baldwin hosted the central time countdown from Nashville, Tennessee, as part of CNN’s 2011 New Year’s Eve coverage.

On January 14, 2012, she hosted a half-hour special music program named Soundcheck, which featured Wilco, Mavis Staples, Mumford & Sons, Ben Sollee, and Janelle Monae.

Brooke Baldwin and Piers Morgan hosted CNN’s coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee on June 3 and 5 in London, United Kingdom.
