JOHNSON, Arkansas — Jacob Luthi joined the 5NEWS team in January 2024 as a reporter/multi-skilled journalist.
Jacob graduated from Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in December 2023 with a master’s degree in sports journalism. During his time at Cronkite, he developed his skills as a broadcast journalist and became a weekly anchor and reporter for the school’s Cronkite News program.
Before attending Cronkite, Jacob graduated from the University of California Riverside with a B.A. in political science.
His favorite part about journalism is the ability to share unique and compelling stories about people, places, and events that often go unnoticed.
In his free time, he enjoys reading, playing pickleball and golf, and spending time with his friends and family.
Originally from Los Angeles County, Jacob is excited to learn all there is to know about this great state and make Northwest Arkansas his home!
