About

Hello! My name is Chris Abreu and I am a morning producer at WKYC Studios. I have a strong passion for journalism and working in multimedia to create strong and compelling stories. I enjoy working as a producer, reporter, and writer. I also have plenty of experience using my own camera in the field. Before graduating, I was an intern at MSNBC Primetime where I helped produce segments on the Reid Out. I created graphics, cut together video, researched political topics, and even wrote scripts from time to time. I started my love for journalism when I joined Kent State's broadcast news station TV2 my freshman year of college. There I have worked as an anchor, reporter, producer, and even News Director! Through my experience there I was able to land three internships. I worked with WKSU Public Radio, Kent State's NewsLab initiative, and my current work with MSNBC. I graduated from Kent State University in May 2023 with a bachelors degree in journalism and a minor in PR.I am originally from Pittsburgh and I tend to not let people forget I am a Steelers fan!
