The experience of nearly 30 years of radio reporting in the Evansville market is evident in this entry.
The 2017 reporting of WNIN Morning Edition host John Gibson is only a snapshot of a distinguished journalism career that includes tragic plane crashes, tornado devastation and Presidential visit coverage.
However, 2017 was a busy year in Evansville. From the solar eclipse, to an attack at the federal building in Evansville that resulted in police shooting the suspect, John’s style and experience are evident. He handles tense spot news with the same ease as a lighter feature.
Coming to WNIN in 2014 following cutbacks at the commercial broadcaster he served for over 20 years, John’s presence is a big reason for the tremendous audience and revenue increases we have achieved in the years since. John is that steady voice each weekday morning that listeners appreciate and enjoy.
Beyond daily hosting and local reporting, John is a leader in the WNIN newsroom. Our diverse staff includes younger journalists. John is always ready to help a struggling reporter, and generous with his extensive local knowledge.
We hope you enjoy this entry. We ask your support for the high honor of an Indiana Associated Press Best Reporter award.
