Jenny Suo

Jenny Suo (born c. 1990) is a New Zealand television newsreader. She hosts 1 News Tonight, and co-hosts Breakfast.

Early life and education
Suo was born in China. She moved to New Zealand aged four, in 1994, and could not speak English when she started school. Suo's mother could not use her degree from China in New Zealand, so she studied accounting at Auckland University of Technology while also working part-time in a supermarket. Suo's father spent some time working in China to support the two. Suo attended Pakuranga College in Auckland.

In 2004 Suo, aged 14, and her classmate investigated the blackcurrant drink Ribena for a science fair. The two were testing to see if fruit drinks with lower prices were less healthy. They found that the drink had no vitamin C despite the label saying so. After believing that they had run the test incorrectly, teachers supported the results, expressing belief that they were correct. This encouraged them to send the results to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), who made the drink at the time, but they received no response. Fair Go began to cover the story, and they soon wrote to the Commerce Commission. In 2007, GSK pleaded guilty to 15 charges of breaching the Fair Trading Act. Consequently, Suo had several interviews and calls from overseas journalists, which she described as overwhelming for a teenage girl. Ribena continued selling following this incident, albeit with a poorer reputation.

Career
Suo attended the New Zealand Broadcasting School in Christchurch. After completion, she was given a job at TV3, where she stayed for eight years, and hosted Newshub Late. She started hosting 1 News Tonight in January 2019, replacing Greg Boyed after his death. 1 News Tonight runs at 10:30pm on each weekday. In May 2020, Suo started co-hosting Breakfast alongside John Campbell, Matty McLean and Jenny-May Clarkson.
