Elizabeth Owens

Elizabeth Owens joined WRDW News 12 as the “On Your Side” investigative reporter in September 2011.

Liz enjoys focusing on stories that involve government accountability, consumer advocacy and whistle-blower alerts. As a watchdog, it is her mission to uncover corruption, misuse of government money and address any other issues that affect the well-being of viewers.

Elizabeth is an award-winning journalist who has worked as a general assignment reporter at WSPA in Greenville, S.C., WRGT/WKEF in Dayton, Ohio and WXLV in Greensboro, N.C. She started her career as an on-air intern/political reporter for the show “Lawmakers” while still in school at Georgia State University.

Originally from “The Peach State,” Elizabeth is excited to finally be back home and to report on the stories that affect you.

When Liz isn’t working you can find her riding motorcycles, visiting one of her eight (yes, eight) brothers or sisters, or playing with her dog, Diamond.
