Dionne E. Young

I'm a multi-media journalist with a passion for storytelling. Specifically, I'm a producer and writer by trade. 

 

I'm not afraid to take risks and I have no problem tossing the rundown for breaking news.

 

I was nominated for multiple Emmys notable 2015 for coverage of Indiana's Religious Freedom Act and in 2020 for our coverage of the impacts of the  COVID-19 Epidemic in Bakersfield, CA.

 

I've been working for Eyewitness News in Bakersfield since January 2018  first as the  morning show Executive Producer and was promoted in 2022 to news director.  We live and breathe the motto "New, Now, Next." We pride ourselves on providing local news, weather, breaking news, and we make sure to leave our audience with some good news as well.
