Career

She was a news presenter and reporter for ITV News Anglia on ITV Anglia where she was based in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
She made the headlines after she was shown joking with colleagues and checking her appearance, without realising she was live on air on the morning of Monday 15 January 2007. Anglia spokesman Jim Woodrow told the Press Gazette: "A switching error led to viewers seeing some light-hearted banter involving our presenter Emma Baker and our production team. There was nothing said which we feel might have upset the viewers."
Baker then joined the ITV Tyne Tees & Border current affairs programme, Border Life, based in Edinburgh. She occasionally relief presented regional news programmes ITV News Tyne Tees and Lookaround.
In 2016, Baker was shortlisted for RTS Scotland's On Screen Personality of the Year.
