Rosanna Mangiarelli (born 1974) is a prominent Australian TV host, best known for presenting the Seven News bulletins on Channel 7 in Adelaide and for her 12-year tenure as the presenter of the South Australian version of Today Tonight.
In December 2022, it was announced that Mangiarelli, alongside Will Goodings, would succeed Jane Doyle as the weeknight anchors of Adelaide's Seven News starting in 2023.
Early career
Mangiarelli began her journalism journey after graduating from the University of South Australia. In 1997, she started working at Central GTS/BKN in Port Pirie. Two years later, in 1999, she joined the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, contributing across Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia. By 2001, she was anchoring ABC's Australia Television news bulletins from Perth, which were broadcast throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Channel 7
In 2004, Mangiarelli became part of the Seven Network. She took over as host of South Australia's Today Tonight in 2007 following Leigh McClusky’s departure and continued in this role until the program ended in 2019.
Mangiarelli introduced a new afternoon Seven News bulletin at 4pm on Channel 7 Adelaide in 2017. When this edition was discontinued in 2020 and replaced with a Melbourne-produced version, she shifted to presenting weekend evening Seven News bulletins, taking over from Jessica Adamson.
By February 2021, Mangiarelli was co-anchoring weekend news bulletins and a new local weekday 11:30am Seven News segment alongside seasoned journalist Mike Smithson. In September 2022, she teamed up with former 10 News First sports presenter Will Goodings for weekend broadcasts.
Following Jane Doyle’s retirement, Mangiarelli and Goodings assumed the role of weeknight presenters for Seven News in 2023. Their inaugural broadcast drew an audience exceeding twice that of competing Nine News Adelaide, with viewership numbers reaching 132,000 compared to 61,000.
Outside of news presenting duties, Mangiarelli has been involved with annual Carols by Candlelight broadcasts and coverage of South Australian state elections. In 2016, she hosted the special program Finding the Beaumonts, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Beaumont children's disappearance.
Personal life
As of 2021, Mangiarelli lived in Walkerville. She is married to a television production coordinator whom she met during his time as a camera operator at Central GTS/BKN in Port Pirie. The couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in 2022 and have three children together.
