Ana Cabrera is based in New York and anchors the weekend primetime edition of CNN Newsroom.

Throughout 2018 Cabrera extensively covered politics and the midterm election, the #MeToo movement and immigration, from interviewing diplomats and lawmakers, legal experts and law enforcement, to conversations with those impacted directly. Throughout that same year, Cabrera traveled around the country speaking with voters, including residents who live along the border and panels of suburban women, keeping CNN viewers updated on the pulse of the national electorate.

Cabrera also anchored many of the top breaking news stories of 2017, including Hurricanes Harvey and Maria, the Southerland Springs, Texas church shooting, the London Bridge terror attack — reporting on air for an uninterrupted nine hours — and the deadly Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Va. Following a ruling for increased sanctions on North Korea, Cabrera was one of the first reporters to interview then-U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley about the matter.

Cabrera joined CNN as a correspondent in 2013, based in Denver. More recently she was part of the CNN Investigative team that revealed systemic failures in reporting, investigating and tracking alleged sexual abuse at elderly living facilities. She covered the unrest in Ferguson, Mo. following the shooting of Michael Brown. Cabrera landed exclusive interviews with the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney while the grand jury was hearing the case and the Police Chief following his long-awaited public apology. She also did extensive enterprise reporting on the marijuana legalization movement, exploring everything from the economic impact, to regulatory issues, to health concerns. Her pot pesticide investigation resulted in the recall of thousands of pot products in Colorado.

Prior to joining CNN, Cabrera was an anchor for the top-ranked daily morning news program at KMGH-TV 7 News, the ABC affiliate in Denver, where she covered local and national news including the Aurora movie theater shooting, and the 2012 Denver Presidential Debate and election. She earned an Emmy Award for her in-the-field anchoring as a part of the 7 News morning team that was honored for its High Park Fire coverage in 2012. She and the 7 News morning team were also honored with the Associated Press TV and Radio Association’s Annual Mark Twain Award for Best Morning Show Broadcast in 2013.

From January 2005 to July 2009, Cabrera was an anchor and reporter at NBC affiliate KHQ-TV and FOX affiliate KAYU-TV in Spokane, Washington. Cabrera began her broadcasting career as an intern for Denver’s CBS affiliate KCNC-TV and KMGH-TV.
