Tom Foreman is an Emmy award-winning journalist whose experience spans more than three decades. Foreman has reported from all 50 U.S. states and has covered almost every major news story of recent years, including reporting for CNN’s America’s Choice 2012 election coverage, the 2008 presidential campaign, the Gulf oil spill, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. During key primary and caucus nights of the 2012 election cycle, Foreman traveled to battleground states to lead focus groups with voters.
Foreman joined CNN in 2004 and is based in the network’s Washington, D.C. bureau, where he covers a wide-range of political topics for the network and reports for programs across the network including Anderson Cooper 360 º, The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and John King, USA.
Most recently, Foreman has been working on the network’s “Building Up America” series, which looks at businesses, individuals and communities finding ways to innovate and thrive despite the struggling U.S. economy. He has also written more than 1200 “Letters to the President” on the AC360 blog and anchors the network’s year-in-review show on New Year’s Eve.
Foreman’s reporting career began at a small radio station in Alabama while he was still in high school. After college, he worked for WSFA in Montgomery, Ala., and then for WWL-TV in New Orleans, La. For 10 years, he worked as a roving reporter for ABC News from its Denver bureau. His international experience has taken him though more than 20 counties for coverage of earthquakes, civil wars, economic upheavals and social unrest.
Foreman moved to Washington in 2000 to become the senior anchor for National Geographic and managing editor for Inside Base Camp, for which he won his second Emmy Award as best interviewer.
Foreman graduated magna cum laude from Troy State University in Troy, Alabama.
