Meet the CGN Philadelphia affiliate team covering local news, weather, and sports. Reporter photo slots use media placeholder lookup by name slug and fall back to the CGN logo until final portraits are added.
Beats: Local news, City Hall, neighborhoods, education, health, transportation, business, Pennsylvania and South Jersey coverage
Claire Donnelly is the Editor for CGN Philadelphia, leading affiliate coverage across Center City, West Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, South Philadelphia, the suburbs, South Jersey, and the broader Delaware Valley. Born in Manayunk and educated at the University of Pennsylvania, Claire covers local government, schools, transit, health systems, neighborhood development, labor, business, and civic accountability. She approaches Philadelphia as a city where history and policy are never far apart, and where neighborhood identity matters in every story. Claire keeps a shelf of old city guidebooks and believes good reporting starts by knowing which block people actually mean.
Beats: Heat, thunderstorms, flooding, winter weather, coastal impacts, Schuylkill and Delaware River conditions
Malik Harris is the Meteorologist for CGN Philadelphia, covering heat, thunderstorms, winter weather, urban flooding, coastal spillover, and travel impacts across the Delaware Valley. Born in Camden and educated at Temple University, Malik grew up seeing how one storm could affect city streets, suburban rail lines, and shore travel in completely different ways. His reporting focuses on what readers need to know before school, work, games, or weekend trips. Malik likes explaining weather through maps, train schedules, and neighborhood landmarks, and he keeps a small rain gauge on his kitchen windowsill for unofficial verification.
Beats: Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, Union, Big 5 basketball, Penn, Temple, Villanova, Drexel, Saint Joseph’s, La Salle
Hannah Stein runs the CGN Philadelphia Sports Desk, covering professional and college sports in one of the country’s most intense sports markets. Born in Cherry Hill and educated at Temple University, Hannah follows the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, Union, Big 5 basketball, Penn, Temple, Villanova, Drexel, Saint Joseph’s, La Salle, and surrounding college programs. She reports on games, injuries, schedules, rivalries, recruiting, fan expectations, and the civic emotion that makes Philadelphia sports feel personal. Hannah keeps a lucky pencil from her first press pass and believes no city explains itself more honestly than Philadelphia after a close loss.
