The first television station in the state of Ohio, and the most awarded in Cleveland, News 5 Cleveland (WEWS) is an ABC affiliate owned by Scripps.
We take a different approach. Too often in TV news reporting, viewers don’t know what happened after the initial story, how the victims or communities coped in the days and weeks after, or what resolutions to issues were ever reached. Our "We Follow Through" promise means that News 5 not only shows up when news breaks but comes back again and again with indepth reporting. News 5’s entire team of anchors, reporters, investigators, and photographers are part of this effort, and the style of storytelling extends to all platforms.
In addition to our station in Cleveland, we have bureaus in Akron and Columbus. We are media partners with the Akron Beacon Journal, Marshall Project Cleveland, and Ohio Capital Journal, and we're the official TV partners of the Browns.
