Caitlin McCarthy

Caitlin is a native of Chicago and attended the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism.

It’s been her lifelong dream to be a journalist and share people’s stories, so she’s thrilled to be home in the Midwest reporting.

Prior to joining 19 News, Caitlin was a reporter at the ABC affiliate in Memphis, Tennessee. During her time there, she covered national Black Lives Matter protests, high profile murders, state and local government, and severe tornados that damaged several communities in the Mid-South.

Caitlin also reported and anchored at the NBC affiliate in Columbia, Mo. while attending college. She covered several stories at the state capitol.

She has earned several regional Emmy nominations for her stories in the community.

When she’s not in the newsroom, Caitlin enjoys trying new recipes and spending time with family, friends, her husband, and her sweet border collie named Lily.

She previously served on United Way of Greater Cleveland’s Emerging Leaders Cabinet.
