Jenese Harris joined the WABG team October 2007. She is excited about being in the delta because of its rich culture, food and warm-hearted community. Inspired by anchors and reporters in her hometown at the age of nine she knew that she would work for a news station one day.

 

This Detroit Native has been pursuing broadcast journalism since the age of sixteen. She believes in dealing with the good with the bad gracefully, reporting about excited gift givers Christmas Eve and heartbreaking stories like Latasha Norman murdered by her ex-boyfriend. Before going to college she had already interned with two Detroit radio stations and the Detroit Free Press. 

 

Prior to coming to the Delta she worked in entertainment news for WMOR and was a contributing writer/reporter for news stations in Tampa. She believes that faith plus dedication and determination equals success. Years of experience have molded her into WABG's main anchor.

 

Aside from news she loves genealogy and  sports especially basketball and football. She is dedicated to the community and assisting local organizations.

 

She hopes the Detroit Lions make it to the Super Bowl soon but would be happy to see the Colts get a championship ring again. She graduated for the University of South Florida with a Bachelors in Communications. When she's not working she enjoys spending time with her family in the Delta.
