Former Denver TV reporter CB Cotton has been hired as a national correspondent for Fox News Channel. In a news release, the network said Cotton will cover breaking news from FNC’s New York headquarters.
“Grateful. Thank you, Fox, for the opportunity to step into this role as a national correspondent,” Cotton tweeted on Tuesday.
Cotton, an Emmy-nominated reporter for her work on the social justice movement in 2020, served as a reporter for ABC affiliate KMGH-TV in Denver where she was the station’s lead nightside reporter focused on crime, justice, and law enforcement. She began her journalism career as the Jacksonville, North Carolina bureau chief for NBC affiliate WITN-TV.
Before working in Denver, Cotton served as a multimedia journalist at ABC affiliate WKRN-TV in Nashville, where she wrote and edited live shots for stories including Middle Tennessee’s March 2020 tornadoes, the 2019 Sumner County slayings, and the 2018 shooting of Daniel Hambrick.
She has also reported on alleged police misconduct, such as the violent arrest of Kyle Vinson in Aurora, the controversial apprehension of then 75-year-old Karen Garner in 2020 and the fallout surrounding the death of Elijah McClain following his 2019 arrest.
Cotton graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in broadcast and electronic journalism. She is professionally fluent in Spanish and is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Press Photographers Association.
