GREENSBORO, N.C. — Meghann Mollerus is an Emmy Award-nominated news anchor of the WFMY News 2 weekday Good Morning Show and WFMY News 2 at Noon. She is a passionate, multi-dimensional journalist known for digging deeper into stories, asking tough questions and utilizing her politics expertise to provide important context to coverage. She knows everyone has a story and enjoys giving her viewers a platform to share their voices.
She is among the TEGNA journalists spearheading the VERIFY initiative, which investigates online claims as true or false and dispels misinformation. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, she co-led the station's Coronavirus Numbers Team, tracking and presenting critical data under deadlines and serving as an advisor to the company as it made health decisions to keep employees safe.
Meghann joined the team in June 2013 as a reporter and has covered everything from breaking news to consumer concerns to top national stories--including Hurricane Matthew and the state’s controversial “Bathroom Bill.” She also has guest reported for TEGNA sister stations during big events, including Pope Francis' historic U.S. visit. Now, at the anchor desk, she continues to lead breaking news coverage, walking viewers through urgent developments — including a recent deadly high school shooting — with clarity, truth and empathy.
Her journalism has received three regional Emmy nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Her co-anchoring of special coverage of Election Night 2020 brought non-biased information and real-time results to thousands of viewers on WFMYNews2.com and Facebook. In 2018, Meghann’s feature story about a child sexual assault survivor helped spur new efforts by the State Attorney General’s Office to test 15,000 backlogged rape kits at the state crime lab.
Meghann has a longstanding passion for community outreach and is proud to be part of WFMY’s Read 2 Succeed program, promoting literacy at dozens of elementary schools each year. She also emcees numerous charity events for local non-profits and veterans initiatives.
Born and raised in St. Louis, Mo., Meghann attended the Honors College at the University of Missouri and graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism from the world-renowned Missouri School of Journalism. She also received minors in Political Science and French.
Although always a devoted journalist, Meghann's proudest job is 'Mom,' and she cherishes family time with her husband, two young children and their rescue cat.
