Vivian Bean considers herself one of the lucky ones. In a business where most reporters and anchors have to head far from home to do the job they love, she is able to do it in her native state.

Vivian grew up in Brunswick, and later left to earn her B.A. in Speech and Communications at Macalester College in Minnesota. After graduation, she returned to Maine to start her career in journalism. Here, she's spent the past several years reporting on everything under the sun.

These days she's getting up before the sun, and delivering the news to people all over Maine and New Hampshire on WGME News 13 at Daybreak beginning at 4:55 A.M. Her work on the newscast earned the station top honors for morning news in a nationwide study by the Columbia Journalism Review.

When she's not at work, Vivian spends every free moment with her husband and WGME news producer, Matt, and their new son Benjamin. Last update: 06/22/2007 at 21:41:20
