Dylan Smith is a Multimedia Journalist for WGEM News. Originally from Charleston, Ill., Dylan holds a Bachelor's Degree in Multimedia Journalism from Western Illinois University.
While in college, Dylan was a reporter and executive producer for NEWS3, the WIU news station. It was at WIU that his passion turned from sports to news.
Before finding a home in news reporting, Dylan frequented the airwaves in East-Central Illinois at Cromwell Media Group by providing sports play-by-play commentary, producing commercials, and being a regular on-air talent.
When he's not at the station, Dylan enjoys working out, watching movies, and picking fights with his three younger siblings.
