Autumn Jones has been named news director for CBS affiliate WKMG in Orlando, Florida.
Jones comes from WFTX Fox 4 in the Fort Myers-Cape Coral-Naples area of Southwest Florida, where she was the station manager and news director.
“Autumn is a passionate and visionary editorial leader who understands the importance of community-focused news reporting,” said Sean McLaughlin, vice president of news at Graham Media Group. “She is a champion of quality reporting and advocacy journalism that gets results that make our communities better.”
Jones worked at ABC affiliate WFTV in Orlando for nearly 15 years. She also served as the media relations director for the Orlando Police Department.
“I’m excited for this rare opportunity as a journalist to return to my City Beautiful roots and serve this rapidly growing Central Florida community and my new team at News 6. I look forward to collaborating with fellow station leaders and providing leadership and support so, together, we can leverage high-value reporting, advanced content distribution and authentic community relationships that propel News 6 forward as a must-have broadcast brand in households across the market,” she said.
She starts her new job on April 14, 2025.
