Adam May
Adam May became a member of the Eyewitness News family in August 2003. In addition to anchoring highly-watched WJZ-13 newscasts on Saturday and Sunday nights, he’s also an award-winning journalist.
He is one of the leading Baltimore TV reporters on major issues, such as gas prices and the energy crisis, port security and witness intimidation. His investigative journalism has exposed an abnormal frequency of police-involved auto accidents in Baltimore, staffing shortages that have placed officers and inmates in danger at some Maryland Correctional Institutions and he continues to dig up new information and search for the truth concerning the unresolved death of federal prosecutor Jonathan Luna.
In 2006, The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences named Adam “Best Live Reporter” in the Mid-Atlantic Region. He holds another local Emmy Award for an undercover investigation that exposed the driving habits of teenagers.
Prior to arriving in Baltimore, Adam worked at WHAS-TV in Louisville, Ky. and WAAY-TV in Huntsville, Ala. While in Louisville, the Associated Press – Kentucky chapter named him Best Reporter. He was also awarded by a non-profit animal welfare organization for an undercover investigation that exposed abusive behavior at an animal shelter. In Alabama he was honored for his coverage of the 2000 Presidential election, as he reported live from the George W. Bush election night party in Austin, Texas.
Adam started his career in broadcast journalism at KBJR-TV in Duluth, Minn. The Minnesota native attended the University of Minnesota where he majored in communications and minored in history.
