Jordan Howington is excited to join Region 8 News as the weekend anchor and reporter. Jordan is from Bryant, AR, but she's no stranger to Region 8. She attended Arkansas State University where she received her degree in Radio/Television broadcasting. She's also a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars
Jordan knew at an early age that telling stories was one of her greatest passions. As a little girl, she printed off stories from the web and read them to her family members. Today, she's turned her dreams into reality. She's excited to begin her career at KAIT and hopes to meet many people in the community.
When Jordan isn't out and about telling stories, she loves spending time with her daughter. Jordan also enjoys relaxing on her off days and catching up with family and friends.
If you have story ideas, Jordan would love to hear them, email jhowington@kait8.com
