Summary
Marlena Lang, WCPO Channel 9’s beloved reporter, is stepping away from journalism after two years on air — citing burnout and the toll of the job on her health — even as the news industry itself reshapes under Scripps’ restructuring. A Kauai native and Biola grad, she’ll stay in Cincinnati but leave the microphone for now, hinting at a future return — if ever. Her departure echoes broader changes: 27 management roles eliminated, including WCPO’s top exec, as media adapts to shifting audience habits.
