Anna Canzano

Anna Canzano grew up in Portland, and we’re all lucky she had a two-decade career as an investigative journalist at KATU, because she could have started her reporting career in Midland Texas. Who knows where that would have lead. Advice for her first on-air assignment at KATU-- “Don’t embarrass us.” Well, she never did. Anna talks about some of the powerful stories she covered and how they impacted her and our community. Tenacious as a reporter-- I’ll say-- as a 23-year old reporter she knocked on the door of infamous child murderer Ward Weaver her by herself-- no camera, and got the interview. Now she created and hosts her own web series on OregonLive-- “That Expert Show,” and her side-hustle is as a side-kick on her husband’s radio show “The Bald Face Truth.”
