Credibility, experience and a bit of an edge; that pretty much sums up Tom Haynes (tom.haynes@myfoxatlanta.
com), a member of FOX 5’s anchor team. Tom joined FOX 5 Atlanta in December 2007 to anchor the 11 p.m. newscast, FOX 5 News Edge. Before coming to FOX 5, Tom worked in Miami at the top-rated FOX affiliate, WSVN-7. From the anchor desk to live reporting, Tom sharpened his journalistic expertise while covering stories such as the U.S. led invasion in Iraq, the sniper shootings that terrorized Washington D.C. and the unprecedented hurricane seasons that battered Florida and the Gulf Coast year after year. Tom began his career in 1994 as a production assistant for CNN’s Larry King Live in Washington, D.C. He then moved to the network’s headquarters here in Atlanta where he worked as a producer, reporter and ultimately an anchor. Tom now returns to Atlanta with even more experience, more passion and a desire to bring something different to local television. Tom is excited be front and center in FOX 5’s innovative and interactive newscast. Tom wants to engage viewers and hopes you will interact with him in any medium, be it over the air or online.
