After graduation, Mercogliano pursued her dream of a career in journalism working on various assignment desks in New York City including WNBC-TV, WCBS-TV and NY1 News. She says she enjoyed learning from the veteran assignment editors and reporters she had always looked up to. She tagged along in the field, asked a lot of questions and was thrilled to get sent to the occasional story or press conference.

Mercogliano’s first reporting job brought her to Valdosta, GA, where she reported for the CBS affiliate WCTV, and eventually served as Bureau Chief.

She received an Emmy nomination for her stories in London. She also filled in on WNBC local news. Most recently reporting for WCBS-TV and WPIX-TV 10pm News, she covered the Sandy Hook tragedy as well as Hurricanes Irene and Sandy and their devastating aftermath.
