Frances Wang ’10 graced the cover
of the Sacramento News and
Review’s 2016 Best of Sacramento
edition. She was named “Best OldSchool, Digital-First Reporter” by
the SNR staff.
After graduating from St. Francis,
Wang enrolled at the University
of Southern California to study
broadcasting. There she discovered
a passion for old-school, boots-onthe-ground reporting.
“If I could have been a journalist
in the golden age of journalism, I
would have,” Wang says. “I wish I
could have been a part of that.”

Mr. Robert Gordon, Teacher
Mrs. Kay Pesce, Teacher and Vice Principal
Sing to the Lord, all creatures!
Worship God with your joy;
Praise God with the
sound of your laughter.
Know that we all belong to God,
That God is our source and our home.
Enter God’s light with thanksgiving;
Fill your hearts with God’s praise,
For God’s goodness
is beyond comprehension
And God’s deep love endures forever.
Psalm 100
After internships at KABC-TV,
CNN and E! News, Wang landed a
job as an on-air reporter at KREM2
in Spokane, Wash. She didn’t think
she’d actually return to Sacramento
anytime soon but when an opportunity popped up last year—ABC10
and KREM2 share the same parent company—she jumped at the
chance.
“This is a very forward-thinking
company—they’re very digitalfirst,” she says. “And I want to be at
the forefront.”
For Frances, that means marrying
the internet’s share-everything
culture with broadcast television’s
reach.
