Jonathan Snyder of Bluffton has joined The News-Banner as a full-time reporter.
Snyder graduated in the spring from Cedarville University with a Bachelor’s Degree in broadcasting, digital media and journalism. He is originally from Toledo, Ohio, and he moved to Bluffton along with his family in 2019.
At Cedarville, Snyder worked at the campus newspaper for two years, predominantly covering sports. He also worked as a broadcaster for TKDS Sports, a live streaming service covering local high school sports around the Dayton, Ohio area.
For The News-Banner, Snyder will start covering Bluffton city government later this month, in addition to general reporting for the county.
“We’re happy to have Jon join our staff,” Editor Holly Gaskill said. “Jon brings an attention to detail and passion for reporting that will benefit our coverage of Bluffton well as he begins in his new beat.”
“I’m really excited to get started at the Banner,” Jonathan said. “Any time you have a close deep-knit community like Bluffton has, there are always special stories to tell. I cannot wait to start serving the community here.”
In his free time, Snyder enjoys cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes and finding new hats for his collection.
