Veteran news anchor Laurie Dhue is a New York-based TV broadcaster and media strategist. She is the Founder and President of her own consultancy, Laurie Dhue Media. Dhue is the only anchor to have hosted shows on the three primary cable news networks: CNN, MSNBC and Fox News Channel. Before joining Fox News Channel, Dhue hosted several shows on MSNBC and served as substitute news anchor on NBC's Weekend Today Show. Dhue began her broadcasting career at CNN, where she became one of the youngest full-time anchors in the network's history. In her 24-year career, Dhue has interviewed countless international leaders as well as politicians, celebrities and newsmakers. She has covered every major news event since the early 1990s as a writer, producer, reporter and anchor.

A person in long-term recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction, Dhue has worked with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). She is also a member of Caron Treatment Center’s New York Advisory Board and the board of the National Youth Recovery Foundation.

"I think people in recovery confuse anonymity with secrecy, which just foments the stigma of addiction… I believe that every time a person in recovery shares her story—her experience, strength and hope—she helps create an environment of knowledge and understanding that’s free from shame and embarrassment. It’s an environment that makes it easier for more people to get help…”  -Laurie Dhue
