Former Crain’s Cleveland Business reporter Michelle Jarboe is joining WEWS, an ABC affiliate in Cleveland, as part of E.W. Scripps’ Journalism Journey Initiative, which aims to recruit mid-career journalists and managers in the industry and redeploy their reporting skills for video-driven reporting platforms.
Jarboe started at Crain’s Cleveland in May 2020 before leaving in December. Jarboe is a former president of the National Association of Real Estate Editors.
Jarboe was previously at the Cleveland Plain Dealer as a commercial real estate reporter for 12 years. Jarboe covered commercial real estate, development and the housing market for Ohio’s largest daily newspaper.
