WHO-TV Channel 13 has a new anchor. Elias Johnson took over after Dan Winters departed from the station in early May of 2022. Johnson is trying to bring something new to the station by changing his role as an anchor. Viewers should be ready for a holistic approach to storytelling and quite possibly a new era of restored trust in the media since 50% of Americans no longer trust the media. Johnson’s approach is focused on showing the difference between local and national news and proving they are not the same.

Johnson has been a prominent figure in Iowa news for 14 years, originally known as the “morning news guy” at WOI-TV for 6 years, channel 5. From the start of his career in media, storytelling has been his main goal. He understands how important it is to form real connection with the audience and community to set yourself apart in local news. This is clear in his ability to story tell.
