About Julia

Julia Weng is a dedicated, Emmy award winning media professional that has achieved immense success at a young age. 

​

Julia began her career as a news producer in Baltimore, Maryland-- a top 30 news market-- immediately after graduating from Howard University.  

​

Her first twelve weeks were dedicated to learning everything about local news production through her time as Hearst Television's Fred Young Producing Fellow at Baltimore's most watched station, WBAL-TV. 

​

After less than three weeks of intense learning, Julia successfully produced her first full 30-minute newscast independently, and never looked back. 

​

Before the official 12-week fellowship ended, the managers of WBAL-TV were so impressed by Julia's quick and instinctual thinking, engaging script writing and creative production skills, that they hired her as a full-time newscast producer. 

​

During her time at WBAL, Julia produced market-leading newscasts ranging from 30-minutes to 4 hours, on various shifts, and always brought positive energy, a collaborative attitude, and meaningful pitches to the newsroom each and every day. 

​

After a year at WBAL-TV, Julia's career skyrocketed to Boston, where she became the youngest producer at legacy station WCVB-TV. 

​

At WCVB, Julia produces a variety of thought-provoking shows, in a fast-paced, breaking news-focused, top 10 news market. Julia spearheaded the station's re-launched 4pm weekday newscast, led as both a producer and executive producer on the station's weekend newscasts from 6-11 p.m., and maintains the station's decades-long reputation as Boston's News Leader as the weekday 5pm producer. 

​

At WCVB, Julia has covered multiple nation-leading stories, including the 127th and 128th Boston Marathons, the Titan Submersible Implosion, the Hingham Apple Store Crash, the Karen Read Murder Trial, the Boston Celtics Historic 18th NBA Championship Win, the Lewiston Mass Shootings, the nationwide college campus protests regarding the Israel-Hamas War, the 2024 New Hampshire Primary, Bill Belichick's resignation from the New England Patriots, Tom Brady's Retirement and more. 

​

In 2024, Julia won an New England Regional Emmy Award for Outstanding Continuing Coverage for her role as a producer when Devastating Floods Ravaged Leominster. Julia's production also significantly contributed to WCVB's win of the Edward Murrow Regional Award for Breaking News Coverage and First Place National Headliner Award for Severe Weather Reporting.
