CLEVELAND — Anchor DaLaun Dillard makes his News 5 at 5 debut today.
He will co-anchor the weekday hour-long news program, joined by fellow anchor Courtney Gousman and Power of 5 chief meteorologist Mark Johnson.
Dillard has spent his entire career in the Midwest. Before joining the News 5 team, he was an anchor/reporter at KETV in Omaha and a reporter/fill-in anchor at WMBD in Peoria, Ill.
He is from Battle Creek, Mich., and is a graduate of Central Michigan University, where he was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. He is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists.
Outside of his role on the anchor desk, you can expect to see Dillard out reporting stories, where he vows to bring a passion for what he calls the “human aspect” of storytelling.
“DaLaun is an outstanding addition to our team,” said Steve Weinstein, VP & General Manager at News 5. “We look forward to having him become part of the fabric of our team, reporting and anchoring.”
