- This page is about the MSNBC anchor. Alison Stewart is also the name of U2 singer Bono's wife.
Alison Stewart (born July 4, 1966, Glen Ridge, New Jersey) is a television news anchor currently at MSNBC. Stewart first gained widespread visibility as a political correspondent for MTV News in the 1990s.
Stewart began her broadcasting career at Brown University, where she was the music director for the school's radio station, WBRU. After graduating with a bachelor of arts in English and American Literature, she went on to anchor news segments for New York City's WHTZ, host PBS' Act Against Racism campaign, and contributed to Swing magazine.
In 1991, Stewart arrived at MTV News as a segment producer. She began on-air reporting during MTV's first "Choose or Lose" segments, which covered the 1992 presidential race. Her coverage earned her a Peabody Award.
Stewart remained at MTV for much of the 1990s, contributing segments to other MTV News shows including Megadose and MTV News: Unfiltered. She also hosted specials such as 1995's the Real World Reunion.
Stewart left MTV and moved to CBS News in December 1996. While there, she reported for several of the network's news programs, including CBS News Sunday Morning, 48 Hours, and Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel. This eventually lead to a stint with ABC News, where she anchored its early morning news program, World News Now; she also contributed reports to Good Morning America and 20/20 Downtown.
In 2003, Stewart switched networks once again, this time from ABC News to MSNBC, where she remains today as a daytime anchor and fill-in anchor for Keith Olbermann on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. She also occasionally fills in for Ann Curry at the newsdesk on The Today Show.
