Meet Me In St. Louis

Tegna’s KSDK (St. Louis) announced that they have hired Mark Maxwell as the station’s political editor.

Maxwell spent the past 5 years at Nexstar’s WCIA (Springfield, Illinois) where he was the capitol bureau chief.

“As we head into an important political election season, KSDK is pleased to hire Mark because he’s an excellent newsman who has extensive experience as a political reporter and investigative reporter,” said 5 On Your Side News Director Art Holliday. “We look forward to Mark’s contribution to 5 On Your Side’s news coverage.”

"Covering Illinois politics has been a wild ride," Maxwell said. "When I heard about the chance to cover politics on both sides of the Mississippi, especially for a station with the caliber of KSDK, I just couldn't turn it down. I'm very eager to get started, and excited to get to know Missouri."
