Daniels began her media careers in the early 1980s, working for ABC and CBS News affiliates in Peoria, Illinois; WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio; and also at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and WTRF-TV in Wheeling, West Virginia. It was at WTRF where she met her husband, Dean Daniels.

She joined NBC in June 1989 as the news anchor for Today 1990 and became anchor of the now-defunct News at Sunrise. In 1991, she became the first journalist to host her own national daily talk show A Closer Look (which was later renamed Faith Daniels), which aired on NBC at 12:30 ET; among the show's prominent interviews was with Stacey Koon–one of the police officers involved in the beating of Rodney King–on October 24, 1992.
