Michele Brunoro
ContactMichele Brunoro is a multi-skilled journalist and anchor with CTV News Vancouver.
Having grown-up listening to her parent’s talk-radio shows, Michele knew from a young age that she wanted a career as a reporter. She grew up in the Valley and completed a Communications degree at Trinity Western University before taking the Journalism program at Langara College.
She got her start in the business writing for community newspapers in the Lower Mainland and still believes some of the best stories are found at the community level. She worked as a radio reporter at CKNW and CKWX before moving into television in 1998.
Michele has received regional, national and international recognition for her work, having won more than a dozen journalism awards. These include an Edward R. Murrow Award for a six-part series on crystal meth and four Jack Webster awards. Her work on B.C.'s opioid crisis, homelessness, the historic 2021 floods, and how vulnerable seniors were failed during the COVID-19 pandemic have also been recognized.
On her days off, Michele can usually be found in the mountains exploring new trails or playing sports with her family.
