SHE’S ALL BAY, ALL DAY…

She was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Diane’s family immersed her in the local culture and passion for Bay Area sports — she’s a die hard San Francisco Giants fan and reps her team all year long. As a kid, tuning in to KRON 4 News every day before school is what inspired her to pursue a career in TV.

She moved to Nevada to attend college at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. It only took her a year and half to earn her degree in Broadcast Journalism with a minor in Entertainment Management, and graduated Magna Cum Laude.

She was the weather anchor and traffic reporter for the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas. Before making a stop to Vegas, Diane was a freelance reporter for CBS Sacramento, and later in Fresno as a reporter and fill-in weather anchor. But her TV career began right here in San Francisco, at the very young age of 12, where she was the host for an educational TV show that aired on PBS; that’s when she knew pursuing a TV career was her calling.

After years of moving around to different cities, Diane is grateful to be back home in San Francisco working at the news station she grew up watching.

DARYA FOLSOM

Anchor

Darya Folsom anchors The KRON 4 Morning News from 4am-10am.  She came to KRON 4 in 1998 from Washington, D.C., where she was a morning anchor for the Fox station WTTG-TV.  Though she was raised in Connecticut, moving to San Francisco was like coming home, because her entire family has been transplanted to the Bay Area over the last 20 years.

For Folsom, even at a young age there was no other career but journalism.  She’d wanted to be a television reporter since she was five years old, when she would interview her little sister on a reel-to-reel tape recorder.  If she didn’t spend so much time talking, Folsom might have become a classical musician.  She played the violin for five years, dabbled in the drums and harp, and played the flute for 13 years, going to music camps and studying at the Hartford Conservatory.  She went on to major in broadcast journalism at the University of Kansas.  After spending a year studying art history and political science in London, she graduated with honors from K.U. in 1987.

Folsom believes a TV career is perfect for her, having traveled throughout Europe, Russia, and Israel and being adept at landing in new places and learning the ropes.  She started in Lawrence, Kansas as a reporter and quickly moved up the ranks in markets from Palm Springs, California, to Boise, Idaho, to Portland, Maine, to Phoenix, Arizona, where she anchored the evening newscasts at KNXV-TV.  After that, Folsom was a morning anchor and investigative reporter at WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C., and finally moved to KRON 4.  Folsom’s reporting has taken her 10,000 feet up to sky dive, to Guatemala to expose sweatshops, to Hollywood for the Oscars and to Chicago for the 1996 Democratic National Convention.

Folsom has won many awards, including two Emmy awards for best newscast, in Phoenix; a 2000 Emmy for serious feature reporting; four Emmy nominations for reporting; two Idaho Press Club awards, in 1990 and 1991; the C. Everett Koop Media Award for health reporting in 1989, and most recently, Best Newscast from AWRTV for the KRON4 Morning News.

Folsom has always enjoyed being involved her community.  She has served on a state panel for people with disabilities and has done work for the Arthritis Foundation.  She has been active with the Jewish Historical Society, the National Cancer Society, and the Alzheimer’s Association.  She has also participated in numerous Bay Area events benefiting local charities for AIDS, children with cancer, the San Mateo Parks Foundation, and the Read California campaign.

Folsom and her husband have a daughter and a son.

She came to KRON 4 from WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she covered legal and political beats, and received numerous awards for her investigative and general assignment reporting. Not only did her decision to leave Milwaukee for San Francisco make headline news, but she may be one of Milwaukee’s only reporters to receive a city proclamation naming a day in her honor.

Catherine has received considerable recognition for her work, including the exclusive news series “Cloistered Nuns.” During her work on that series, she and her photographer became the first and only outsiders ever permitted to enter the monastery of the Poor Clares in Los Altos Hills.
