ALLISON NORLIAN

Allison Norlian is a three-time Emmy-nominated journalist with almost a decade of experience in media who has covered major national stories like the aftermath of the Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally and President Trump’s “travel ban” in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. 

 

Allison became a journalist to speak for the voiceless, like her severely disabled sister. She has used her platform to shed light on important issues impacting people with disabilities and other vulnerable and disenfranchised communities. 

 

She won a Catalyst for Change award from the ARC of Virginia for the impact of her reporting and an Emmy nomination for an investigation exposing neglect and abuse at an assisted living facility. 

​

Allison's goal as a journalist is to leave the world a better place by spreading hope and ensuring the truth is always told, and wrongdoing is exposed.
