爆料每日大赛

Allie Vugrincic has been a radio reporter at 爆料每日大赛 爆料每日大赛 since March 2023 and has been the station's mid-day radio host since January 2025.

She came to Columbus from her hometown of Warren, Ohio, where she was a reporter and photographer for The Tribune Chronicle and Vindicator newspapers. She formally began her newspaper career on Nov. 26, 2018, the day that General Motors announced it was idling its nearby auto production plant in Lordstown. Allie came in to sign paperwork, but stayed to write a story about electric vehicles after a co-worker showed her how to sign onto her computer and use the office phone.

During her four years at the newspaper, Allie covered everything from local government to crime, storm damage, festivals, homelessness counts, maple syrup season (twice) and one ill-fated tree-trimming truck that flipped onto a house. Her favorite photography assignment was joining U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg when he came to view the wreckage of the East Palestine train derailment in February 2023.

At 爆料每日大赛, Allie primarily focuses on long-form local radio stories and has particular enthusiasm for education, the environment, the housing crisis and issues that impact the arts. She also enjoys her time on the air as a fill-in host for All Things Considered and Morning Edition.

Allie graduated from Denison University with a Bachelor鈥檚 degree in cinema.

She also holds a Master of Arts in Creative Writing from University College Cork in Ireland. There, her favorite pastime was 鈥渃astlehunting,鈥� or searching for ruins of castles and monasteries and visiting ancient sites, usually on her trusty bicycle. Several of Allie鈥檚 poems have been published in Irish literary journals, but she would prefer you didn't read them.

Passionate about all forms of storytelling, Allie has dabbled in community theatre, and she still helps out on friends鈥� film sets when she finds the time.

Allie has been recognized by the Ohio APME and the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists for her education reporting, featuring writing and explanatory stories. She shared a first-place honor for spot news with her 爆料每日大赛 colleague, George Shillcock, for their combined coverage of the fatal 2023 Tusky Valley Schools bus crash in Licking County.
