Susan Roesgen is an award winning American reporter based in Chicago. Roesgen has worked in radio and television broadcasting for more than two decades, including prime time news anchor positions at several TV stations. She has worked as a general assignment correspondent for CNN since 2005.
Early life and career
Susan Roesgen is the daughter of William Roesgen, former publisher of several newspapers and editor of the Billings Gazette, and sister to Andy Roesgen, a freelance television reporter. Roesgen graduated magna cum laude from Montana State University in 1983, majoring in English Literature. Roesgen says she "never planned to be in journalism. I thought I'd be some kind of writer, but not in the media." She started as a copyeditor for the MSU Exponent newspaper, and her first television job was writing commercials. She eventually joined the news department, and worked her way up to anchoring the news at WABC-TV in New York City.
She received a regional Emmy award, along with two colleagues at WDSU-TV, for the documentary A Grave Injustice, on the theft of artifacts from New Orleans historic cemeteries, and a Louisiana Associated Press Award for her reporting in Israel.
Roesgen has worked at the following stations:
- WABC-TV Channel 7 (New York)
- KFMB-TV Channel 8 (San Diego)
- WITN-TV Channel 7 (Washington, NC)
- KATV-TV Channel 7 (Little Rock)
- WDSU-TV Channel 6 (New Orleans)
- WGNO-TV Channel 26 (New Orleans)
She has also worked as for WWNO-FM, a member station of National Public Radio. Roesgen was a classical music disc jockey, worked on the local show Getting There, and filed news stories for NPR's national broadcasts. She was honored by the Press Club of New Orleans with first place awards in the category of general news in 2004, 2005, and 2006 and in series category in 2005.
National Geographic
She joined the National Geographic Channel in 2000, and co-hosted an international travel show, National Geographic Today.
CNN
Roesgen was hired by CNN as the first news correspondent for their Gulf Coast division in 2005. She was based in New Orleans and covered Hurricane Katrina. Other significant stories she covered for CNN include the Jena Six events in Louisiana, the Drew Peterson case, and the death of Michael Jackson. Roesgen's coverage of the 2009 Red River flood in Fargo, North Dakota, in which she "talks to the camera while passing sandbags and riding a forklift" according to one observer, was mocked by Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's Daily Show.
She moved to CNN's Chicago bureau in September, 2007. In July, 2009, CNN indicated it would not be renewing Roesgen's contract.
2009 Chicago Tea Party
On April 15, 2009, Roesgen interviewed a number of people at a 2009 Tea Party protest in Chicago, including one protester calling US President Barack Obama a fascist and carrying sign depicting him as Adolf Hitler, and another protester that praised Abraham Lincoln. Susan asked the former "Do you realize how offensive that is?" When the latter was asked, "Sir, what does this have to do with your taxes? Do you realize that you're eligible for a $400 credit?", the man responded that "Lincoln believed that people had the right to share in the fruits of their own labor and that government should not take it. And we have clearly gotten to that point." Roesgen then asked, "Right, but did you know that the state of Lincoln gets $50 billion out of this stimulus? That's $50 billion for this state, sir." Speaking over the noisy crowd, she concluded the interview with, "I think you get the general tenor of this. It's anti-government, anti-CNN, since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network, Fox. And since I can't really hear much more, and since I think this is not really family viewing, I'll toss it back to you, Kyra."
The interview drew criticism as confrontational from some in the media, including Mona Charen of the National Review. New York Times media and culture columnist David Carr wrote "she could not have been more contemptuous of the people she was interviewing". A CNN spokesperson said, "She was doing her job, and called it like she saw it." Roesgen has not commented publicly on the situation.
