==Early life==
Kaity (pronounced "kite-ee")〔Tong, Kaity. ("What's in a name?" ), ''WPIX Blog'', March 4, 2009.〕 Tong was born in Qingdao, China and arrived in the United States with her family at age four. Her parents Americanized their names to George and Anita Tong.〔 Growing up in Washington D.C., she was inspired to become a journalist by her great-uncle, Hollington K. Tong, an ambassador to the US from China as well as an acclaimed author.〔Diamond, Edwin. ("New-Girl Network: Anchors get Younger and Blonder" ), ''New York Magazine'', June 10, 1991, p. 20.〕 Her mother worked for the Voice of America as a broadcaster and producer in Washington D.C.〔
Kaity attended Bryn Mawr College on an academic scholarship. She graduated with honors with a bachelor of arts degree in English literature. She was accepted to the doctoral program of Stanford University in Chinese and Japanese literature,〔 and she intended to be an instructor in English literature. However, while at Stanford, Tong began her broadcasting career, getting what she thought would be a summer job as morning editor and producer for KPIX-TV All-News Radio in San Francisco. The summer job turned into a year-long stint at the radio station which was the top all-news station in San Francisco.〔Newton, Kathie. ("Women: The new TV set Stars share a mystical 'something'" ), ''The Modesto Bee'', March 25, 1980, p. A7.〕 Tong managed to complete her master's degree in Asian studies but was sidetracked by the news business.
