Bio
Lauren Oesterling
Morgan is a true gem in the news world. She can report, and anchor with the best of them, but is also one of the kindest people you’ll ever have the privilege of working with. She’s professional, not to mention punctual. Anyone would be more than lucky to have Morgan on their team.
Laura Walker
Morgan Briesmaster is a new emerging talent in the Quad Cities market; rounding out the local News 4 team with her top notch reporting skills. I had the opportunity to work with her for a full day seeing first hand her ability to track a story lead through interviews, filming, writing and editing to create a professional well executed story that aired on the 5 o'clock and 6 o'clock news. Morgan Briesmaster is the one to watch these days and if she calls you for an interview that's a call that you'll want to take!
