Margaret Larson (née Pelley; born February 24, 1958) is an American retired broadcast journalist and television presenter. Her most notable position was with NBC News. She worked as a foreign correspondent from 1990 to 1992 as news anchor and substitute anchor from 1992 to 1994 on the Today show, later returning as a correspondent for Dateline NBC. For her last decade in journalism, she spent time volunteering with international aid organization Mercy Corps and acting as a board member. After a brief stint at KIRO-TV in Seattle as an anchor, she moved to KING-TV in the mid-'90s. She left KING-TV to accept a full-time position as Vice President of Communications for Mercy Corps in 2002.[1] Larson later left this position to become an independent contractor for international aid organizations in order to broaden her focus to Africa and HIV/AIDS issues. Larson has consulted with Mercy Corps, World Vision, Global Partnerships, and PATH. In March 2010, she returned to KING-TV to host a one-hour lifestyle show, New Day Northwest, weekday mornings. Larson announced her retirement in early July 2020, with her last New Day Northwest episode broadcast on July 31, 2020.[2]
