Hayden Robertson

About

My name is Hayden Robertson, and I am a news reporter in Lynchburg, Virginia. My love for news started in my senior year of high school. I began to show interest in political reporting during the 2012 election. I can still vividly see myself watching Diane Sawyer anchor ABC's World News just so I could know what was going on. I knew then that I wanted to serve anywhere I could as a national correspondent and inform you about elections, world disasters, or anything I could report on. Since 2021, I've worked as a nightside reporter and producer for WSET in Lynchburg, Virginia. I've chased down stories, investigated how local politicians are spending tax dollars, and held leaders accountable for the decisions they make for their constituents. When I am not in the field, I am behind the scenes producing broadcasts, training new producers, and ensuring all news that impacts our audience is told.
