Bio
Teresa
Tomeo is a veteran broadcast-journalist with more than 20 years
of experience as a radio and TV news reporter and anchor woman
mainly in the Detroit area. Teresa first served as an award winning
radio reporter and radio news anchor receiving recognition for
her work from the Associated Press, The Detroit Press Club, and
the American Women in Radio and TV. After making the move to TV
news in 1988, Teresa worked as a reporter/anchor for WKBD-TV 50,
covering the streets of Detroit live five nights a week. She then
reported for the ABC affiliate, WXYZTV Channel 7. Her assignments
at Channel 7 took her across the country covering some of the most
significant
stories of the ‘90s, including the Oklahoma City Bombing
and the 1995 visit to the United States by Pope John Paul II.
Despite her success and recognition, Teresa began to become
disillusioned and disappointed by the trends in the media toward
sensationalism, violence, and liberal bias. In 2000 Teresa
decided to leave the secular media to help families and other
concerned citizens engage the culture.

Tomeo is now an author, syndicated Catholic talk show host, professional speaker, and media consultant. Most recently, she was invited to Rome to be one of only 260 international delegates to participate in the 20th anniversary of Mulieris Dignitatum, a "Congress on Women".

Myths and misinformation abound in media coverage of pro-life issues.

Yet it’s crucial for pro lifers to realize that we ignore the media at our own peril.
Through her media training and consulting sessions, media expert and veteran newswoman Teresa Tomeo, offers strategies on how to not only respond to the media madness but to learn how to promote the pro-life message through both secular and Christian media outlets.
Teresa’s sessions include:
• A look inside the newsroom to help pro lifers understand the daily decision making process.
