Broadcasting Start

It dawned on me. Wait a second, he’s asking questions and they’re telling interesting stories. Is that a job?”
Alisyn was amused with the idea that she could be on TV talking to people and get paid for it.

Life with CNN
On July 14, 2014 CNN and CNN International announced that Camerota was going to join the CNN news team as an anchor. Camerota first co-anchored on CNN’s New Day on the morning of a Friday, July 25, 2014. In 2015, Camerota became a permanent co-anchor of New Day. In June 2017, Camerota once found herself accused of insensitivity for suggesting during a live interview that national spelling champion Ananya Vinay, a 12-year-old born in California, should be able to read Sanskrit. A CNN spokesperson later dismissed the comment as a joke, calling those offended "extremely cynical." New Day's viewership has increased by 9% since Camerota was added to the program.
Camerota wrote Amanda Wakes Up, a novel she began writing while taking notes of her interviews of candidates during the 2012 presidential election. The notes developed into a novel based on her 25 years of working for the news business. She wrote the book with the desire to remind readers of the importance of real journalism. Book reviewer Lincee Ray of the Associated Press wrote that the novel offers "a healthy dose of what it means to weigh ambition against truth".
CNN claims that her addition to the program has given New Day a key asset in its bitter ratings battle against Morning Joe over on MSNBC. In 2015, Camerota’s first full year on New Day, the program raced to an impressive ratings lead over Morning Joe in the pivotal 25-54 age demographic, after establishing a slight edge in 2014. CNN credited the ratings increase to the hiring of Alisyn as a permanent co anchor. When asked about the competition at Fox News, Alisyn’s old network, a CNN spokesperson said “We don’t look at them as a direct competitor. That’s not a news program at Fox in the morning, and I don’t think anybody looks at it that way.”
