JULIE DONALDSON

Julie has been a pioneering figure in sports broadcasting, breaking gender barriers in a field traditionally dominated by men. She has not only made remarkable strides in her career but has also been a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion in the industry. With over two decades of experience as a sports journalist, Julie has worked in several top U.S. markets including Miami, New York City, Boston, and Washington DC, covering major events including four Olympic Games.  

​

Julie is currently an anchor/reporter for WTTG FOX5 DC.  She recently served as SVP of Broadcast for the Washington Commanders as the first hire of change during a most tumultuous time for the franchise.  She was pivotal in helping change the culture of not only her department but the organization as a whole.  On top of her leadership duties, for four seasons she was a permanent member of the game day radio broadcast, making her the first female to be a regular on-air member of an NFL radio broadcast booth. This achievement led Sports Illustrated to name her one of the top 50 Most Powerful Women in Sports that year.
