**Jonathan Vigliotti** (born March 20, 1983) is an American reporter with [CBS News](/source/CBS_News) since May 2015. He has been a national correspondent based in [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles) since March 2019[1] and was a [London](/source/London)-based foreign correspondent from 2015 to 2019.[2][3] His reports can be seen regularly on the network's news programs, and affiliate service Newspath.[4] Previously he worked for [WNBC](/source/WNBC) in [New York City](/source/New_York_City) and contributed to *[The New York Times](/source/The_New_York_Times)*.

## Early life and education

Born in [Mount Kisco, New York](/source/Mount_Kisco%2C_New_York), Vigliotti grew up in [Westchester County](/source/Westchester_County%2C_New_York). He graduated from [Fordham University](/source/Fordham_University) in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in communications.[5]

## Career

While a student, Vigliotti reported and anchored news updates for NPR affiliate [WFUV](/source/WFUV) and interned at ABC's *[20/20](/source/20%2F20_(American_TV_program))*. Before joining [CBS News](/source/CBS_News), he reported and anchored at [KJCT-TV](/source/KJCT-TV) (ABC) in [Grand Junction](/source/Grand_Junction%2C_Colorado), Colorado, [WTMJ](/source/WTMJ-TV) (NBC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and [WNBC](/source/WNBC) in New York City. He has also contributed reports for [Current TV](/source/Current_TV), *[The New York Times](/source/The_New_York_Times)*' Travel Section, and the [Pulitzer Center](/source/Pulitzer_Center) on Crisis Reporting.[6]

During his career he has covered a wide range of stories including the earthquake in Haiti,[*[clarification needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify)*] [Hurricane Sandy](/source/Hurricane_Sandy),[7][8] the [Newtown school shooting](/source/Newtown_school_shooting), [Boston Marathon bombing](/source/Boston_Marathon_bombing), [ongoing search for MH370](/source/Search_for_Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370) and the Paris terrorist attack.[*[clarification needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify)*][*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

Vigliotti's tough questioning of Maui county officials following the deadly [Lahaina fire](/source/Lahaina_fire) launched a state investigation into the island's emergency response. Herman Andaya, the head of the Maui Emergency Response Agency, resigned less than 24 hours after telling Vigliotti he did not regret his decision to not sound emergency sirens. Vigliotti's reporting led to new emergency protocols and statewide reform of Hawaii's disaster response.[\[1\]](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/us/maui-emergency-chief-resigns.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare)[9][\[2\]](https://www.staradvertiser.com/2023/09/01/editorial/our-view/editorial-maui-leaders-must-provide-answers/amp/)
