Fredrika Whitfield has been a journalist for almost 30 years and has covered countless stories, and even won an Emmy award nomination in 2000 for long-form storytelling. Whitfield has served as a news anchor for many different news outlets and has won several awards for her unique journalistic style. In her reports, Whitfield uses several different rhetorical strategies that have helped her to be known as one of the best current journalists. In her pieces, she provides trusted, sourced information that she delivers using definition and description. She always uses narration as a way to explain the stories she's covering further and more in-depth. Lastly, Whitfield uses pathos to appeal to the audience's emotions, and explain the more emotional side of the stories she covers. She has shown this use of rhetorical strategies in several different coverings, including, "Cuban-Haitian refugee crisis in the 90s, to the 2000 Bush-Gore presidential race and recount, the Kosovo War refugee crisis, the Afghanistan War and start of second Iraq War, the 2008 Inauguration of President Barack Obama, the Atlanta, Beijing and London Olympic Games, the 50th anniversary of Voting Rights Act in Selma Alabama, the 2016 Presidential primary races and Democratic National Convention."
