Juliana Valencia is an Emmy-winning reporter in two languages for News4 and Telemundo 44. She’s part of the New4 Today team and a regular fill-in anchor.
Since Valencia joined News4 in October 2019, she’s reported on historic moments such as the Jan. 6 insurrection, Supreme Court rulings and the funeral proceedings of Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O’Connor.
Working early mornings, she was one of the first journalists on the scene of the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, providing coverage the entire week.
Before moving to D.C., Valencia was a weekday anchor in Louisville at WHAS11, where she launched the only weekday Spanish webcast in the region. Valencia also worked as a reporter and anchor in Paducah, Kentucky. She also had her share of one-man-band experiences in New Bern, North Carolina. She began her career as an intern at CNN in Atlanta and is a proud graduate of the University of Florida, where she swam on the club swim and dive team.
Valencia is accustomed to moving to new places. As a child, she moved six times, spending most of her time in Corpus Christi, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee, where her parents still reside.
Her parents, immigrants from Colombia, raised their only child in a Spanish-speaking home. Valencia now lives in Dupont Circle with Wilson, her dog from college.
