This is the story of a man who was wrongfully convicted of murder and spent 27 years at the notorious Attica Prison. While behind bars, he built a relationship with his daughter, who was just a baby when he was incarcerated, and became a famous artist. Today marks six years since Valentino Dixon was freed. His story is so complex that in preparation for creating this piece, I read hundreds of pages of court documents, journal entries and articles, and interviewed more people than I could quote. I am thankful for each of them. They all gave me valuable background on this story.
Thank you to Valentino and his daughter, Valentina, for sharing pictures with me to use in this report. #Inspiration #Freedom #NationalRegistryOfExonerations #Family #Artist #Art #Drawings #WesternNewYork #NewYorkState #News #Anchor #Reporter #Journalist #Animator #VideoEditor

Career Update: I am excited to be earning my master’s degree in journalism! Since this industry is rapidly changing and I am a television news anchor and reporter, I want to maintain up-to-the-minute skills. Media forms are merging. Many television news stations host podcasts and share written web articles to accompany on-air reports, while newspapers feature audio and video versions of their written stories. I realize that a journalist should be adept at all forms of media. So far in my master’s program, I have been taught by amazing experts, including four Pulitzer Prize winners, an assistant editor for USA Today, and a lifestyle expert appearing regularly on the TODAY Show! This program is akin to earning an MBA in terms of length and depth. I will keep you all updated on the process. #Update #Graduate #Program #Education #Journalist #Journalism #Anchor #Reporter #News

Olympic Silver Medalist and Media Sensation: The full story is on KatherineChloeCahoon.com
Before even unpacking from her Olympic trip, silver medalist Anita Alvarez spoke with me. In this interview, she opens up about team rituals, stepping onto the podium in Paris, watching her USA artistic swimming team’s underwater moonwalk explode online, the time she almost drowned, and how that setback inspired others to persevere through challenges. Alvarez fell in love with artistic swimming while growing up in Western New York. This is her story.
Thank you to USA Artistic Swimming for providing me with photos. Courtesies: Anita Alvarez, Liz Corman, JH Exposures and James Rokop. #ArtisticSwimming #USAArtisticSwimming #USA #AnitaAlvarez #Paris #SilverMedalist #Medalist #Podium #Olympics #OlympicGames #OlympicGames2024 #Olympics2024 #ParisOlympics2024 #ParisOlympics #Moonwalk

International News: The full story is on KatherineChloeCahoon.com
This report contains candid images a United Nations ambassador gave me from footage that she swiftly tossed in her handbag as she fled from invading troops seeking her life. An Indonesian army was attacking Timor-Leste, a small Southeast Asian country, while she was overseeing the Timorese’ vote on independence after over 400 years of captivity. On May 20, Timor-Leste celebrates 22 years of sovereignty.
In 2018, I first studied this island nation while preparing to interview young Timor-Leste delegates for a CBS story covering their visit to the United States. That report went viral in their country, and the Timorese invited me to cover last year’s historic parliamentary election between two leaders considered resistance-era heroes. That time, my report trended internationally. This would not have been possible without the help of the Timorese and Debra Lee, the ambassador who risked her life in their vote for independence, and said, “They are the bravest people I’ve worked with.” #TimorLeste #EastTimor #Independence #Freedom #UnitedNations #Journalist #News #Anchor #Reporter #VideoEditor

Here is the first third of my news report. The full story is on KatherineChloeCahoon.com
It has been nearly two years since the horrific, racially-driven mass shooting took the lives of loved ones at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York. Residents continue to honor them and enrich their city. On that sad day, Lieutenant Aaron Salter Jr. gave his life to save the lives of others. Creating this story about the victims and how Western New Yorkers are keeping their memories alive, was very personal for me. I had covered stories for the news in the neighborhood where this tragedy occurred many times and the people there were always so welcoming. Lieutenant Salter even went out of his way to make sure I stayed safe as I filmed a story on a busy street. Starting this weekend, through June 24, there will be a 5K race, a celebrity golf tournament, and a gala to raise funds for a charity which honors the victims by helping Buffalo’s rising generation. #Buffalo #NewYork #Love #Unity #Remember #Tops #Supermarket #Legacy #Legacy514 #HometownHeroes #5K #Race #GolfTournament #Gala #Hosted #BruceSmith #BuffaloBills
