Deborah Horne, KIRO 7 News

Reporter

I’m Deborah Horne, a Gracie and Emmy Award winner and general assignment reporter for KIRO 7 since 1991. I hope you will watch my reports on KIRO 7 News beginning at 4 p.m. 7 Questions With Deborah Horne 1. Where did you grow up? Newport News, Virginia 2. Why did you become a journalist? I became a journalist because, as my mother often said, I like ‘to be in the know.’ I love learning new things. I very much believe in our mission of delivering the facts that you need to make decisions in your life. It is a promise I make to myself and to you every day: to get the information and deliver it to you without favor because you are our most important judge. 3. What cities have you worked in during your journalism career? I have lived in Providence, Rhode Island, and Seattle, Washington. 4. What’s the most memorable story you’ve ever covered? This is hard because I have done thousands of stories. The stories that stay with me most are those that involve people, like a woman making crane earrings to raise money in the fight against Asian hate who had her own painful story; three Thai filmmakers who happen to be brothers who began making films as kids growing up in Des Moines; a rising star in the opera world who grew up in Lakewood. 5. What are you most proud of in your career in news? My proudest moment was when I won ‘The Gracie’ award for best local talent in the US in 2022. It felt like my childhood dream had come true: to be the best reporter I could be and be recognized as such. 6. What’s something people don’t know about you? That I have been jogging since 1978 which makes my love for cooking and eating possible. 7. What do you like to do when you’re not working? I love the arts in most of their incarnations: opera, the theater, symphony, jazz, pop, R & B, hip hop.
