credits include hosting roles on The Travel Channel, and guest appearances on

name a few.
She is licensed to practice law in both Ohio and California.
She moved to Los Angeles after graduating from the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill School of Law to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
“Stephanie’s passion and knowledge of the law will be an
integral piece of our digital coverage as we dig deeper into the issues that
matter most to our viewers. From pop culture to politics, she has a natural
ability to connect with both a digital and television audience,“ stated
Director of Content Adam Miller.
“In all the places I've lived, from Los Angeles to New York
City, I've always found my greatest sense of community among Ohioans,” said
Haney. “Now, I'm thrilled to say I get to do that in Cleveland as part of the
incredible team at WKYC. Growing up in Canton, Northeast Ohio has always been
home to me. I'm excited to explore it again now, not only with fresh eyes, but
through the experiences of all the people who let us in to tell their stories.”
Driven to bring people information that empowers and
uplifts, Stephanie approaches every story and source with empathy and understanding.
Her knowledge of the law and passion for justice combine seamlessly with her
love of popular culture, a mix which is more relevant than ever due to the fact
that so many stories have a legal and social angle.
After earning her Master of Science in Journalism from the
University of Southern California, graduating magna cum laude as an Annenberg
Fellow, Stephanie produced for ABC's Good Morning America in addition to
working on Diane Sawyer's American Dream project. Stephanie holds a Bachelor of
Arts degree from Ohio University, cum laude, where she double majored in both
Political Science and Sociology/Criminology.
