Professional Media Gathering and Adapting In The New Normal | Keeping It Reel with Dan Konik

Dan Konik was born and raised in Vermilion, Ohio. Lake Erie was his front yard. Dan went to Lorain County Community College, then transferred to Ohio University, graduating with a BS in Communications in 1991. Worked as a newspaper reporter for the Lorain Morning Journal while still in college. He got his first real TV job at WCJB in Gainesville, FL, which was invaluable training—moved from that market (165) to WPTV in West Palm Beach (45) after fifteen months, which was exhilarating and a bit terrifying. He stayed there for seven months, then got his job at WBNS in Columbus, Ohio, until 2016, when he moved to WVIZ, Cleveland’s PBS station. He works in the Statehouse News Bureau for that station. He also has his startup business DKVideo, LLC, in 2004, known now as Konik Media. Dan has covered the Pope’s visit to the US, the Olympic Park Bombing in 1996, two GOP conventions, and countless other stories.
