Gina Longo-Pompilio began working as a news editor at KYW Newsradio during the momentous month of September 2001. After less than two weeks on the job, she was pressed into service to help cover the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Longo-Pompilio is certainly no stranger to newsgathering. She's worked as an assignment editor at our sister television station CBS-3 in Philadelphia; as a reporter and anchor for an Atlantic City, NJ television station; and as an assignment editor and producer for a Wilkes-Barre, Pa. television station.
Born and raised in Hazleton, Pa., Longo-Pompilio attended Bishop Hafey High School, graduated in 1989 with a communications degree from Wilkes University, and immediately began working in broadcast news at WNEP-TV in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market.
After the birth of her son in 2002, she moved from full-time editor at KYW Newsradio to full-time mom and part-time editor.
She and her husband Drew Pompilio now have two children: Roman and Nicole. They reside in Delaware County, Pa.
