Alia Blackburn started at WTHI-TV in November 2013
Alia Blackburn started at WTHI-TV in November 2013 as a producer. She currently co-anchors News 10 This Morning (5-7 a.m.), Monday through Friday. She was promoted to the role in October 2018 after being the weekend evening anchor for two years.
During her time at News 10, Alia has covered a variety of stories that have impacted the Wabash Valley. One of her favorites includes a two-part special report called "Spoken Armor", which highlighted the behind the scenes work of negotiators within the Terre Haute Police Department. Other big stories Alia has helped cover include the murder of Terre Haute DJ Matt Luecking, the death of fallen Terre Haute Police Officer Rob Pitts, President Donald Trump's visit to the Indiana State Fairgrounds in 2017 and other memorable stories.
Alia has interviewed several high-profile names including Rachael Denhollander (former gymnast and first woman to go public with accounts of sexual assault against former USA Gymnastics Doctor Larry Nassar), Bernie Sanders (former presidential candidate), John Quiñones (ABC News correspondent and television host) and others.
In September 2017, Alia was named a finalist for a Spectrum Award (Best News Feature), given by the Indiana Broadcasters Association.
Alia graduated from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana with bachelor's degrees in both telecommunications and journalism. She is from Indianapolis, Indiana, where she enjoys spending most of her free time on her days away from the newsroom. She loves hanging out with family and friends, football (Go Ravens!), being involved within her sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha), traveling, trying out different restaurants/foods and being an auntie!
Alia also enjoys having a second home within the Wabash Valley. If you have any story ideas, or just want to say hello, drop her a line anytime!
