Meredith
Ganzman - Host/ Senior Editor
Meredith is a double
broadcast journalist and history major at New York
University. A New Jersey Native, she grew up known for
her incessant talking and lover for television shows
such as "Live with Regis and Kathy Lee" and "Full
House".
At 11 she began performing in community theater.
Meredith immediately
caught the acting bug through musicals including Bye
Bye Birdie, Peter Pan, and Annie Get Your
Gun.
However, as a junior in high school
Meredith found her real
niche. She launched the first student produced
programming for the community cable access channel,
anchoring a nightly news broadcast. She next introduced
a talk show to the network for which she was a host and
executive producer.
The host of TrueNYC, Meredith
shares many entrepreneurial traits including dreaming
big and always being a "go getter." She is happiest when
she is working to make it all happen.
Meredith also works at
CBS News in the mobile news department. She is an avid
theater patron, shopaholic, and world traveler, most
recently visiting Japan.
