Hannah Kliger joined the CBS New York team as a reporter in May 2022, focusing her coverage in Brooklyn. A native New Yorker, Hannah has received several awards for her investigative journalism about problems plaguing Brooklynites, from hate crimes to housing rental scams.
Prior to joining WCBS, Hannah spent 6 years as a general assignment reporter at News 12 Brooklyn. She later joined the News 12 investigative team. Her work on News 12's network-wide series, "Hate at Home," earned several awards.
Hannah graduated with honors from New York University with a major in Broadcast Journalism and another in Political Science.
Hannah was born in Coney Island, Brooklyn to a family of Soviet dissidents from Russia, who fled persecution and censorship.

Hannah speaks fluent Russian.
