Hi! I’m Catherine Herridge and welcome to the blog! I’m guessing you watch FOX and know that I cover Homeland Security, terrorism and the intelligence community. In fact, I was the first TV reporter from any network assigned to the homeland beat after 9/11.

I left New York and came to Washington in the fall of 2001, after covering the World Trade Center attack. No one knew how long I would stay in D.C., so after a month the top brass at FOX let me go home to get more clothes and underwear.

Over the years, I’ve been given a nickname: “the Terror Pixie.” I don’t know if it’s the pixie haircut or the topics I cover, but somehow it has stuck. Although the issues I report on are very serious, there is a lighter side from time to time — and I’ll bring it to you whenever I can!
