Sara Maslar-Donar Bio
Sara Maslar-Donar joined the 27 News team in June 2019 as a reporter. These days, she anchors and produces 27 News at 5 p.m. each weekday. She is also the host of Capital City Sunday, a weekly political show. Previously, she spent four years as a reporter and anchor for the ABC affiliate in Columbia, Missouri.
While growing up in suburban Chicago, Sara knew she wanted to be a journalist. She loves to write and has always enjoyed meeting new people. She spent her high school years working for the newspaper and spending time at the Fox affiliate in Chicago.
Sara got her undergraduate degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Missouri and is one of the proudest Tigers you’ll ever meet (MIZ!) She received numerous awards from the Missouri Broadcaster’s Association for her business and economic development reporting, as well as awards from the Missouri Bar Association for legal journalism.
When she’s not holding state and local officials accountable, she’s most likely relaxing at home with a craft beer and a true crime documentary. She’s beyond thrilled to be able to continue her time exploring all that Southern Wisconsin has to offer.
