605			<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Jake is a multimedia journalist with a deep passion for community storytelling, with experience spanning podcasting, radio broadcasting, photography, video production, and writing.  He currently serves as the afternoon news reporter for WVLI and WIVR at Milner Media. In this role, Jake delivers timely, relevant news that keeps local communities informed, connected, and empowered.</span></p>
606<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">In April 2025, Jake returned to Milner Media to carry on the legacy of beloved local news icon Ken Zyer, whose passing left a lasting impact. Stepping into this position is more than a 
606job—it’s a profound honor for Jake, who is committed to continuing Ken’s tradition of trusted, community-centered journalism.</span></p>
607<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Jake’s skill set includes podcast production, news writing and reporting, conducting interviews, and an in-depth knowledge of local history, government, and events. His passion for podcasting reflects a broader shift in journalism that he wholeheartedly embraces—bringing stories to life in ways that are personal, accessible, and impactful. In 2021, he launched the <em>Kankakee Podcast</em> to create a fresh platform for local storytelling, civic pride, and community connection.</span></p>
608<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Earlier in his career, Jake was honored with a &#8220;Best Radio Aircheck&#8221; award from the Illinois Broadcasters Association as a student in 2015. Prior to his work in media, he played in the pop-punk band <em>The Projection</em>, celebrating milestones like performing on the Vans Warped Tour and having music featured on MTV’s <em>The Real World</em>—all before graduating high school.</span></p>
609<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Driven by a strong sense of purpose, Jake finds meaning in work that uplifts the community he proudly calls home. From co-hosting the <em>Wake N’ Jake Morning Show</em> on WFAV to independently building <em>Kankakee Podcast</em>, he has always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire connection and positive change.</span></p>
610<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">When he’s not behind the mic or in the newsroom, Jake enjoys spending quality time with his wife, two children, and extended family. He’s an avid vinyl collector, a fan of long walks, and loves discovering new coffee shops—especially on sunny summer days in Southwest Michigan.</span></p>
