Prior to that, she was with WNBC for 15 years. In addition to her reporting role as Long Island Bureau Chief, she co-anchored the station\u0027s top-rated Saturday and Sunday morning program "Weekend Today in New York" for five years.\r\n\r\nHer reporting over the last three decades includes some of the biggest New York stories of our time: the terror attacks of 9-11, massive power outages and the massacre on the Long Island Railroad. She reported tirelessly on the devastation wrecked by Hurricane Sandy. She was one of the first reporters on the scene at three commercial jetliner crashes (Avianca Flight 52, TWA Flight 800, American Airlines Flight 587). During the Blizzard of \u002796, Gusoff reported for 36 hours straight on the historic storm\u0027s toll and has been in the thick of nearly every major weather event to strike the New York area since.\r\n\r\nGusoff moved to NBC from News 12 Long Island where she was credited for in-depth coverage of national stories such as the kidnapping of Katie Beers, the Tankleff murders and the Amy Fisher\/Joey Buttafuoco scandal. She was also a fill-in anchor for the nation\u0027s first 24-hour regional news network. Her broadcasting career began as anchor\/ reporter for the ABC affiliate, WEVU-TV, in Fort Myers, Florida.\r\n\r\nHer collaboration with Katie Beers on Buried Memories has earned her the distinction as a New York Times best-selling author.\r\n\r\nHer many honors include four New York Emmy Awards and 17 New York Emmy nominations for Journalistic Enterprise-Long Island beat reporting, writing, research and environmental reporting and was part of the winning team that earned WCBS an Emmy for its coverage of Superstorm Sandy. Gusoff also won a New York Emmy Award for On-Camera Performance\/General Assignment Reporting for the Mepham Hazing Scandal.\r\n\r\nIn more than three decades, Gusoff has won scores of Long Island Fair Media Council FOLIO Awards.\r\n\r\nGusoff holds a Master of Science Degree in Journalism from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Government and English from Cornell University, where she was Editor-in Chief of the Cornellian and a U.S. Congressional intern for then Senator Joe Biden and U.S Senator Alfonse D\u0027Amato.\r\n\r\nShe devotes much of her time in leadership roles to charitable causes and local community organizations. Carolyn is a recipient of the Public Relations Professionals of Long Island\u0027s Outstanding Media Member Award. She has survived breast cancer twice and working motherhood, and speaks publicly with passion and humor about both challenges.\r\n\r\nGusoff was born in New York City and lives in Nassau County with her husband and their two children.","sameAs":"https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/gusofftv","affiliation":{"@type":"Organization","name":"CBS News"},"worksFor":[{"@type":"Organization","name":"CBS News New York"}],"contactPoint":{"@type":"ContactPoint","email":"[email protected]"},"publishingPrinciples":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-publishing-principles\/"}],"image":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"ImageObject","height":630,"width":1200,"url":"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2023\/04\/12\/5e95bd32-d083-4034-b1f9-549b6622272c\/thumbnail\/1200x630\/d40b4fbe3510def897f7fdb0acfd6f0d\/climate-change-protecting-our-planet.png"},"publisher":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/","name":"CBS New York","foundingDate":"1948-05-06","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.cbsnewyork.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CBSNewYork\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cbsnewyork\/","https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBSNewYork","https:\/\/youtube.com\/CBSNewYork\/","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/WCBS-TV"],"logo":[{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"ImageObject","height":60,"width":600,"url":["https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/assets\/partner\/google\/cbs-newyork-600x60.png","https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/assets\/partner\/google\/cbs-newyork-darkbg-600x60.png"]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/","publishingPrinciples":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-publishing-principles\/","parentOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Paramount Global","@id":"https:\/\/www.paramount.com\/","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.paramount.com\/","legalName":"Paramount Global"},"actionableFeedbackPolicy":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-publishing-principles\/#1d4ed2b9-ade8-4203-a4e4-115dd34c0735","correctionsPolicy":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-publishing-principles\/#751608ae-9468-457c-9dbe-1f9400a7f428","ethicsPolicy":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-publishing-principles\/#a0060f90-73b0-4a57-b756-ca7a7f26cc7d","Masthead":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-publishing-principles\/#5fd9a80d-2c6c-4d38-8b1e-4144650d5963","missionCoveragePrioritiesPolicy":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-publishing-principles\/#4ffda755-6b47-49e1-b98c-24b737906aca","ownershipFundingInfo":"https:\/\/www.paramount.com\/company-history","unnamedSourcesPolicy":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-publishing-principles\/#de41886e-07ed-4887-ad05-4b2c79edf857"},"articleBody":"<\/div>
