âIâve known Kristen Swilley for nearly 10 years since her days as an intern in Florida,â said Mike Canan, senior director of local content for WCPO 9 News. âIt has been an absolute pleasure to watch her grow into the journalist she has become. She has a deep commitment to our community and to telling great stories that others miss.â
