Brandon Goldner is a Murrow and EMMY award-winning reporter/multi-skilled journalist for CBS News Philadelphia.
Since arriving in Philadelphia in April 2022, Brandon has become known for his in-depth investigative reporting on environmental and infrastructure issues.
His two-year ongoing investigation into the collapse of a retaining wall on a major highway project in South Jersey drew in thousands of viewers on-air and online, leading to federal and state lawmakers demanding accountability from New Jersey's Department of Transportation.
He's the recipient of two Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards and an EMMY for his work as a multi-skilled journalist.
Originally from Baltimore, Brandon joined CBS News Philadelphia after spending six years reporting for WCNC, the NBC-affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina.
There, Brandon became known for his ongoing investigation into air pollution at a paper mill part-owned by NFL owner Robert Kraft, including his attempt to get an interview with Kraft by waving down his police motorcade. His investigations also exposed new information about a petroleum spill along the Colonial Pipeline, examined the practice of restraining students in North Carolina classrooms, and revealed ongoing concerns from local leaders regarding a proposed lithium mine.
While in Charlotte, Brandon received two Emmy nominations, and he was twice named "Multimedia Journalist of the Year" for large markets by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) of the Carolinas.
He was also named "Multimedia Journalist of the Year" for small markets while working for WNCT, the CBS affiliate in Greenville, North Carolina.
A proud graduate of the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism, Brandon is excited to be back closer to his family. He loves exploring new neighborhoods (he's a major architecture buff!), drinking too much coffee, and reading the Sunday paper on actual newspaper.
