Sharon Song
Emmy-award-winning journalist Sharon Song has spent most of her life in the East Bay. During her undergrad at UC Berkeley, she interned at many of the Bay Area’s local stations and landed at her work-home, KTVU, where she’s worn many hats: from assignment editor to field producer, television reporter, TV news writer, and digital news writer.
She feels lucky and honored to have been able to work with some of the Bay Area’s most legendary journalists and incredible storytellers who have helped shape the way news has been presented in our region, including Dennis Richmond, Elaine Corral, Rita Williams, as well as the late Leslie Griffith, Bob MacKenzie, Faith Fancher, and incomparable news director Fred Zehnder.
As a journalist, Sharon has covered a wide variety of topics, but those that she’s truly passionate about are human-interest related. She loves to tell stories that display the diverse tapestry of the Bay Area and reveal the common thread of humanity and community, the heartbeat of this very special region.
Sharon is active in the Bay Area Korean-American community. She is also a published author of the children’s book, "Nowhere Home," and when she’s not engaged in storytelling, she enjoys running, reading, traveling, and spending time with her two children, the family’s lovable pup Cubby and husband Jason Appelbaum.
