Fri, May 1, 2026 • 10:50am - 11:50am (1h) • Skinner Memorial Chapel

22. That’s how many years Jana Shortal has worked as a journalist for KARE 11 news in Minneapolis, MN. In all of those years Jana has gone from a general assignment reporter to hosting Breaking The News, weeknights at 6:30.

Jana’s reason for journalism? Because the truth, still, has to matter.

Jana graduated with a Bachelor’s in Journalism from the University of Missouri – Columbia and is a eight time Emmy winner.

Jana is married to Laura and they have a kiddo named Zeke.
