Evan Millward

Position: Multimedia Journalist

When Started: July 2014

Other Positions Held Here: None

I started in visual storytelling at the Columbus Dispatch as a videographer and web producer in 2011. That September, I moved to Missouri to launch the Jefferson City bureau for KMIZ-TV (and ABC and Fox affiliate). I was promoted to weekend anchor and spent two years in that role before leaving in July 2014.

School: Ohio University. E.W. Scripps School of Journalism. BSJ. 2011.

It’s humbling to see the work we do as journalists affect real change in our communities – from a simple community call to action, to changing the discourse and law. My first story at 9 On Your Side was about a Westwood daycare that had all its field trip money stolen. The Tri-State stepped up an more than returned what was taken within days – incredible!

This is home. I have family from Cincinnati up through my hometown of Beavercreek, near Dayton. I couldn’t be happier to be back near family and within a two hour drive of so many of my closest friends!

There’s something good happening in Cincinnati and it’s great to be part of it. You can see and feel the pride here – who wouldn’t love that? I’m enjoying my ongoing mission to explore all the distinct neighborhoods here. And I’m always looking for the next great grilled cheese.

Each neighborhood is unique. But I’m partial to OTR because I call it home. A warm, sunny day in Washington Park is perfect. Clifton’s Gaslight and Covington’s Mainstrasse are beautiful neighborhoods as well. This city’s parks have stellar views and I’m still exploring them.
