Gabrielle Caracciolo is an award winning reporter for WJAR NBC10 in Providence, RI. She thrives at holding the powerful accountable and has gained recognition for her reporting on Rhode Island's infrastructure failures asking state & federal leaders tough questions sparking policy changes. While she has a passion for investigative and political reporting, Gabrielle also excels covering breaking news. She was entrusted with covering the 2023 mass shooting in Lewiston, ME for all Sinclair stations & spent days reporting live from the scene for local morning shows across the nation. ​​​​
In December 2024, Gabrielle produced and anchored a special investigative show on the one year anniversary of Rhode Island's Washington Bridge closure. The critical piece of infrastructure previously carried 90,000 vehicles of I-195 traffic each day. Its closure drastically changed the lives on residents & businesses on both sides of the bridge. Her investigations uncovered concerns about the state's bridge inspection process.
Gabrielle previously worked in El Paso, TX covering nationally impactful stories including immigration & border issues, the COVID-19 pandemic, and international politics. These stories were frequently shared nationally with all SBG stations. In El Paso, she produced a three-part investigative series uncovering the misuse of school funds to pay outgoing superintendents unnecessarily lavish severance packages despite the negative circumstances under which they were resigning. ​
Even before graduating college, Gabrielle got her official start in the broadcast news industry freelance reporting from Washington, D.C for WWLP-22 News in Springfield, MA, reporting part-time for WBNG-12 News in Binghamton, NY, and freelance reporting from the 2020 New Hampshire primary for a variety of Sinclair Broadcast Group stations.
Gabrielle graduated summa cum laude with honors from Syracuse University with a dual degree in Broadcast & Digital Journalism and Political Science. While there she produced award-winning stories on the water crisis in the Middle East, poverty in the city of Syracuse, and campus protests that garnered national attention. As one of the university's top graduates, she was selected as a Remembrance Scholar honoring the lives of the SU students killed in a 1988 terror attack. The program's mission of looking back, and acting forward in their memory remains a great honor and responsibility in Gabrielle's life. ​​​​
Gabrielle grew up in Franklin Square, NY, the middle of three sisters. She swears Long Island has the best pizza and bagels (it must be something in the water!). In her free time, she enjoys taking workout classes, reading at the beach, and spending time with family & friends.
