PAULA ZAHN
Name:Paula Zahn
Birth name: Paula Ann Zahn
Born: 24 February 1956
Paula Zahn (born February 24, 1956 in Omaha, Nebraska) is an American newscaster,
most recently the host of Paula Zahn Now on CNN. On 24 July 2007, she announced
her resignation from CNN. The final broadcast of Paula Zahn Now aired August 2,
2007.
Zahn initially grew up in Canton, Ohio with her parents and three siblings. The
family relocated to Naperville, Illinois, as her father's job as an IBM sales
executive required them to move frequently. She once joked that "IBM" really
stood for "I've been moved". She attended Jefferson Junior High School in
Naperville and later graduated from Naperville Central High School in 1974. She
also competed in several beauty pageants, making the finals of the 1973 Miss
Teenage America Pageant. Zahn continued her education at Stephens College in
Columbia, Missouri on a cello scholarship, and received firsthand knowledge of
the news business by working as an intern at WBBM-TV in Chicago, Illinois. She
graduated in 1978 with a bachelor's degree in journalism. Zahn then spent the
next 10 years working at local stations around the country, including WFAA-TV in
Dallas, Texas, KFMB-TV in San Diego, California, KPRC-TV in Houston, Texas, WHDH-TV
(then WNEV) in Boston, Massachusetts, and KCBS-TV in Los Angeles, California.
