Emmy-winning journalist Anne Trujillo CELEBRATES Jake's Take's Fourth Anniversary

The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast is celebrating its fourth anniversary!

Thank you to everyone who has listened to the podcast over the past four years. I also want to thank every single guest who took time out of their lives to sit down with me. To mark each anniversary, I always welcome someone who has played a significant part in my career in the media world. For the Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast’s fourth-anniversary show, I am honored and privileged to welcome Anne Trujillo as my guest. I first met Anne when I interned at KMGH-TV ABC 7 News in Denver during my final semester at the University of Colorado at Boulder during the 2010-2011 school year.

After graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Anne Trujillo began her career at Denver7 as a general assignment reporter. She worked her way up the ranks, covering stories from the Columbine and Aurora theater shootings to the Democratic National Convention in Denver to three Broncos’ Super Bowl appearances.

Anne is an Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist. Her reporting and anchoring skills have been recognized numerous times by the National Association of Television Arts and Sciences, the Colorado Broadcasters Association, The Associated Press and Women in Communications. Throughout her career, Anne has been active in the community, volunteering for boards and non-profit organizations and frequently serving as emcee for events. Anne is Co-President of the Colorado Chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. She is a member of journalism advisory councils at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Metropolitan State University.

After almost 40 years covering Colorado’s news, shaping generations of journalists at Denver7, and being Denver’s longest-serving continuous evening news anchor, Anne said she would sign off from the station this fall.

“After much reflection, I have decided to step away from my role as evening news anchor in November,” said Anne Trujillo in an August 3 news story. “It’s time for me to leave Denver7 and pursue the next chapter of my life – one that allows me the flexibility to pursue new passions as well as my time with my family.”

On the fourth anniversary episode of the podcast, Anne reflected on how broadcast journalism has evolved since she started and shared her thoughts on the most memorable news stories she covered in her career.
