Maya Morita joined Cleveland 19 News in 2026 as an assignment editor and digital producer.

Before coming to Cleveland, Maya attended Ohio University, where she studied Journalism and served as an editor for the student-run publication The Post. After college, Maya spent three years at WEWS as a digital content producer.

Maya is a Central Ohio native, growing up in Delaware, Ohio, which is where she wrote for her high school newspaper, The Talisman, and fell in love with journalism.

Sports and breaking news coverage became a passion for Maya early in her career, but she also enjoys writing long-form, research-based stories about crime and history.
