Roma Torre: Proud Daughter of Journalism Pioneer

Roma Torre
Roma Torre for WBGO

Roma Torre is the Emmy Award winning anchor of Time Warner Cable's NY1 News and the theater critic for NY1 On Stage. She has used her celebrity to promote colonoscopies after she underwent successful colon cancer surgery.

Roma is the daughter of the late Marie Torre.

Marie Torre made journalism history in 1959 as a columnist for the now defunct New York Herald Tribune when she served 10 days in Hudson County Jail in Jersey City, New Jersey for refusing to disclose her source in a CBS controversy involving actress Judy Garland.
