Logan Gay joined the WTHR news team in the summer of 2021 as a multimedia journalist. She likes to call herself a one-woman band because she shoots, writes and edits her own stories. Logan’s journalism career has taken her all over the Midwest, but her roots have always been right here in Indianapolis. She was born and raised right here in the Circle City. She graduated from Heritage Christian School in 2011. She then attended Ashland University in Ohio where she graduated with honors. She started her career working as a reporter for Lakeland Public Television in Brainerd Minnesota. While there she enjoyed exploring the “Land of 10,000 Lakes." she worked hard to keep the community informed. She covered everything from political campaigns to important environmental issues that impacted the region and fun events that brought neighbors together.
After having enough of the cold, Logan moved to Southern Illinois to work for the NBC affiliate WPSD in Carbondale, Illinois. While there, Logan served as the bureau chief for the station. She was responsible for covering the entire Southern Illinois region by herself. Logan became an important voice for the community through engaging with the public and telling stories that mattered most to viewers. She covered everything from breaking news, elections, events and all the important information viewers needed to know during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Logan is very invested in mentoring the youth in the community. While living in Illinois she helped launch a Black History Month Program that educated young people on the media industry. She hopes to find similar ways to give back to the community here.
Logan is very excited to be back home serving the community she loves and reconnecting with family and friends. She spends most of her free time exploring all the new restaurants and shops that arrived while she was gone. She enjoys reading, traveling, trying new restaurants and going to the movie theater.
