Bookman said the station is "investing in the future of local news and in the many ways people are consuming and connecting to what’s going on. How we reach an audience is changing and I want to be part of the evolution."

Bookman is a Needham native who previously reported in Manchester, NH, Baltimore, MD, Spartanburg, SC and Elmira, NY, according to her bio.

In her sign-off post from 7 News, Bookman said her 12-year tenure was "the longest amount of time I've ever stayed at one job."

"I’ve always strived to be responsible in my reporting - knowing how important words are during challenging times, breaking news and on emotional subjects," she wrote. "I trained nearly every reporter who walked through the doors in the last decade."
