Minneapolis crews working to prevent repeat of St. Louis Park water main crisis
CBS News Minnesota is digging in - literally - to get answers about aging infrastructure and what's being done to prevent the next water main crisis.
Jonah Kaplan is WCCO and CBS News Minnesota's award-winning investigative reporter who has built a strong reputation for his balanced and in-depth coverage of high-impact issues affecting the community.
He has conducted exclusive interviews with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, among many other high-ranking federal and state officials. Jonah's also been an integral part of severe weather and breaking news coverage over his nearly 15-year career, including embedding on a C-130 flight with the U.S. Air Force into the eye of Hurricane Florence in 2018.
Jonah actually started in sports working behind the scenes with TV crews at YES Network and ESPN, but later made the switch to news in part to watch the games instead of work them! His work on-air has since appeared on CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN and MSNBC.
Jonah's professional journey includes stops at WTVD-TV in Raleigh, NC; WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee, WI; KSPR-TV in Springfield, MO; KAUZ-TV in Wichita Falls, TX; Gray Television's Washington D.C. Bureau; and the NHL's Boston Bruins. He graduated with honors from Boston University's College of Communication.
Jonah has received multiple awards for his work, including the 2023 Upper Midwest Emmy for Best Reporter, and he is two-time winner of the TV News Reporter of the Year award from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) of the Carolinas.
Outside the newsroom, you can find Jonah struggling to remain a fan of Philadelphia sports teams, playing ice hockey, or chanting and leading music at area synagogues (he's a son of two rabbis!). Jonah lives in the Minneapolis area with his wife and three daughters.
