Tara Molina

Tara Molina is a member of the CBS News Chicago Investigators team with a focus on CBS Climate Watch – the climate and environmental issues impacting our communities – as well as topical investigative stories.

She has been honored with multiple Emmy awards and both National and Regional Edward R. Murrow awards for her reporting. 

Molina came to CBS News Chicago in 2019 after working as a reporter and anchor at WEWS-TV in Cleveland, Ohio, and WFTX-TV in Fort Myers, Florida.

She holds a Master's degree in Mass Communication and Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism from Arizona State's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. 

In her free time, Tara enjoys spending time with her family and exploring Chicago's many neighborhoods. She loves to stay active (and not just because she's a big fan of the city's incredible food scene).
