Anna Maria Tremonti

Anna Maria Tremonti (born 1957) is a Canadian radio and television journalist, who has been featured on a variety of programs on the CBC.

She has previously been a senior reporter for "The National", and a host of "The Fifth Estate". Since 2002, she has hosted CBC Radio One's morning news program "The Current".

Born in Windsor, Ontario, her journalism career began at the University of Windsor student newspaper, "The Lance". She showed great promise in print journalism before losing a 1977 election to become managing editor of "The Lance" by one vote. As a result, she poured most of her energies subsequently into the university's radio station, CJAM.

Her later experiences included private broadcasting gigs in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia and Toronto before serving with the CBC in Fredericton, Halifax, Edmonton, Ottawa and Toronto. She also served as a CBC correspondent in Europe, and was for a number of years the chief CBC correspondent in the Middle East.
