In case you missed it, former WFSB anchor/reporter Hena Daniels has joined CBS Newspath in New York City as a freelance correspondent.
Hena joined CBS Newspath in March, and has been mainly contributing to the networks "CBS Money Watch" franchise. While Hena has also held a freelance reporter position at WPIX-TV since January, CBS Newspath has been keeping her busy 5 days a week since joining.
Before reporting in New York City, Hena was most recently part of the special projects unit at WFSB-TV CBS 3 in Hartford, reporting for the "On Your Side" and "I-Team" brands.
Hena has had two stints at WFSB, first coming to the station in 2005 as a general assignment reporter.
In 2008, she was promoted to weekend evening anchor, making her one of the first Pakistani news anchors in the U.S. Also that year, a reporting adventure took her to Pakistan days after martial law was declared in the country. Hena had exclusive access to a military base in Karachi. She interviewed former President Pervez Musharraf's retired Lieutenant Colonels. She also reported at Benazir Bhutto's house while the Prime Minister was under house arrest and weeks before being assassinated.
In 2010, she left WFSB to join Meredith Corporation sister station WGCL in Atlanta as a reporter and fill-in anchor.
Hena returned to WFSB in March of 2012 as weekend evening anchor, saying at the time "“I’m thrilled to be back. I’m from NYC so after spending two years in the South I realized I wanted to be closer to my family and friends. Plus, as often as I anchored at CBS Atlanta (which was the last 5 months [at the station]) Channel 3 offered a full-time anchor job. It’s nice to come back to a dominant number one station and be closer to home.”
Hena came to WFSB, the first time, from WTOC-TV CBS 11 in Savannah, GA where she was a general assignment reporter. Prior to that, she was a multimedia journalist at WWTI-TV ABC 50 in Watertown, NY.
A native of New York City, Hena is a 2000 graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo where she earned two bachelor's degrees in english and psychology.
In addition to her work in television news, Hena is an Adjunct Professor at Capital Community College and has also taught at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting.
You can watch Hena's reports for CBS Newspath across CBS News platforms, and on CBS affiliates across the country.
