Melissa McCarty is a veteran newscaster delivering the news for more than a decade. In the field, Melissa is the girl who gets too close to being burned covering Southern California wildfires, has glass shattered all over her covering riots in downtown LA, and reports during a hail of gunfire just feet away. In other words, she’s pretty fearless.

She’s also appeared on several hit TV shows including Revenge, Chuck, Big Love, and Lie to Me. Currently she is the Host of Newsbreaker for ORA TV where her boss is none other than Larry King, and just recently she wrote her first memoir “News Girls Don’t Cry,” her story of a rising journalist’s struggle to balance a difficult private journey in the midst of leading a very public life.

Now you understand why we think Melissa McCarty is most definitely “one to watch.”
