Gabrielle Caracciolo is an Edward R. Murrow Award-winning journalist. In 2025 she began working as a Washington Correspondent reporting for Nexstar Media Group's 100+ local news stations around the country including KTLA, WGN, WPIX, & WFLA. She also assists Nexstar's The Hill, and NewsNation with national political coverage.
Gabrielle previously spent four years reporting in Rhode Island & Massachusetts for WJAR NBC10 News where she gained recognition for her award-winning coverage 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 of local residents & businesses. Gabrielle's investigations uncovered flaws within the state's bridge inspection process that were later corrected.
Gabrielle began her full-time reporting career 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.
While still studying at Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Gabrielle earned professional credits reporting from Washington, D.C for WWLP-22 News in Springfield, MA, working part-time at 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. In college 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.
