MOVERS AND SHAKERS FOR DECEMBER

JENNIFER JORDAN

Two-time Emmy-award-winning journalist Jennifer Jordan joined WJW-TV News in January of 2012 as the noon anchor and reporter for the evening newscasts. She currently co-anchors the 6 & 10 prime-time weekend newscasts with John Sabol.
Over the last nine years in Cleveland, Jennifer has won three national awards.
The first two, an NABJ award and RTDNA Unity Award for “Race: Our Stories,” a series detailing diversity issues with African American journalists, stemming from the police killing of Tamir Rice.

The third national award was the second-place National Headliner Award for Best Newscast for the “Brelo Verdict,” the Cleveland officer charged in the East Cleveland car chase. He was found not guilty. The award was for the second-best newscast in the nation, for which Jennifer anchored with then co-anchor Bill Shiel. 

Prior to joining FOX 8, Jennifer worked at New York City’s WPIX-TV/CW11 as a freelance general assignment reporter and fill-in anchor.
