ALLISON LANGDON

'Allison Langdon' (born May 20, 1979) is a newsreader for Australia's ''National Nine News''. ^[1].
Allison attended Wauchope High School and Port Macquarie’s MacKillop Senior College. During her time at school, she presented radio programs on Monday evenings on the local community radio station 2WAY FM, which is based in Wauchope. After leaving school, she studied journalism at Charles Sturt University and filed stories for the National Radio News service of the Australian Community Radio Network, run by the CBAA.
Allison Langdon joined the Nine Network after completing her journalism degree, which included an internship with CBS in New York. She began her media career as a producer for ''Nightline'' in 2001.
In 2002, Langdon worked as a producer for the 6:00pm bulletin of ''National Nine News''. Seeking more on-the-road experience, Langdon moved to Nine's Darwin newsroom and, in her first year in the Top End, won the David Marchbank Award for best new journalist. Alongside her round as political reporter for the Northern Territory, Langdon travelled to China and East Timor covering stories for news and the Sunday program.
Langdon was one of the first Australian journalists on the ground following the Australian Embassy Bombing in Jakarta in September 2004. She filed daily for all of Nine's bulletins before following the Australian survivor, five-year-old Manny Musu, to Singapore.
In October 2004, Langdon returned to Sydney as a general reporter and took over the court rounds for ''National Nine News''.
In April 2007, she was appointed as fill-in newsreader on the Today Show.
Langdon filed a stalking complaint against an admirer she alleges went too far, by sending her sexually explicit love letters. The admirer, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, is banned from coming within 500m of Langdon, or Channel Nine's Willoughby studios in Sydney and is due to appear in court on June 22 2007. ^[2].
Allison Langdon enjoys reading, yoga and wakeboarding.
It was reported on August 26, 2007, that Langdon had announced her engagement to Sky News Australia presenter Michael Willesee Junior, son of former ACA host Mike Willesee and they will marry in 2008.
