WPXI bolsters reporting roster with Robinson native Lauren Talotta
Talotta is a University of Pittsburgh graduate who just finished up a decade of reporting in West Virginia.
Country roads ultimately took Lauren Talotta back to where she belongs. In this case, though, it wasn’t West Virginia.
The 34-year-old Robinson native spent the last decade working at two stations in the Mountain State before recently accepting a position as a freelance reporter at WPXI-TV. Her first day at Channel 11 will be June 27, and viewers will begin seeing her pop up on various WPXI shows in early July.
Talotta, a Montour High School and University of Pittsburgh graduate, drew some interest from stations in Charlotte, N.C., and Columbus, Ohio, while trying to figure out her next professional steps. The chance to report in her hometown, even in a freelance capacity, proved to be too enticing to turn down.
