Media presenter and reporter Melissa Chan-Green has been bringing the news to television with her extensive career.
For several years, Melissa was co-anchor of the Newshub Live At 6pm weekend bulletins. In 2022, she took on the role of co-host of Newshub's breakfast show AM.
Background
From breakfast programmes to the 6 o’clock news, she’s travelled the globe covering everything from court cases in Tokyo for the Sea Shepherd's Pete Bethune who’d been captured by a Japanese whaling ship, to the fiscal crisis and protests in Athens.
She’s covered the London 2012 Olympics and the Rio 2016 Olympics, Glasgow Commonwealth Games and the 2015 Rugby World Cup. She was also the Newshub correspondent in Bermuda for the 2017 America’s Cup.
Melissa has reported on royal weddings and the births of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis (meeting the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla along the way) but Melissa names her two career highlights however, as covering the centenary of the Gallipoli landings and the funeral of Nelson Mandela.
She’s spoken with celebrities including One Direction, Usher, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson and more.

Melissa was amazing, very professional and friendly. Melissa had to deal with a few curve balls on the evening and dealt with it all without issue! If I needed an MC again, Melissa would be my ‘go to’ person!
Melissa is a delight to work with, and easily assimilated into the role with a clear understanding of the complexities of our business.
