Black History Month: Black journalists fight to win top meteorologist jobs dominated by white men
In December 2022 Veronica Johnson was named chief meteorologist at ABC News affiliate WJLA-TV in Washington, DC. Her journey to the top took nearly 30 years.
Johnson became interested in the weather at age 12. She earned her undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where she specialized in atmospheric sciences.
Johnson started her career at The Weather Channel, and then moved to Baltimore where she worked at WBFF. Her journey took her to WABC-TV in New York, and WMAR in Baltimore.
After leaving WMAR in 1999, she joined News4 in 2000, and was appointed to the board of the American Meteorological Society in 2005.
She left News4 and moved to WJLA-TV in 2016. When WJLA’s chief meteorologist Doug Hill, announced that he was retiring in 2016, Johnson applied for his job. She was denied, despite her extensive expertise and experience.
