Jona Robinson has joined the Lakeshore Public Media radio team as a local host for Lakeshore's morning breaks during NPR's Morning Edition.
A Gary native, Robinson graduated from Calumet New Tech with honors in 2018, and from Ball State University in 2022, majoring in journalism and telecommunications with a minor in anthropology. At GreatNews.Life, her coverage ranged from cultural celebrations like the Valparaiso Popcorn Festival to pressing social issues such as the St. Jude House Survivor Celebration, where she spotlighted the resilience of domestic violence survivors.
Robinson's personal journey, shaped by her experiences as someone hard of hearing, fuels her advocacy for American Sign Language (ASL) and the deaf community.
