Full Biography
Katie Ryan is a proud graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree Broadcast Journalism and minor in Political Science. She is a currently working at KSL 5 TV in Salt Lake City and loves the beauty and grace of Utah. Katie loves the news of the day and hopes to pursue a career as a journalist and become a reporter.
As a student, Katie has done work as a political reporter for KBYU Eleven News. She focused on politics and government and covered Election Day in 2014 extensively. She also did general and feature reporting. She one-man-banded most of her projects, meaning she was responsible for the enterprising, photography, scripting, voicing, and editing of her work.
Katie also did some time behind the anchor desk and in front of the green screen. She spent a semester as a co-anchor of Eleven News at noon. As an anchor, she not only read from the teleprompter, but ad-libbed and enjoyed the hustle of breaking news. She reached beyond herself and weather anchored for a semester. This experience helped her to become more conversational and to not rely on a script.
Katie has worked many other positions at Eleven News. She has been an executive producer, producer, floor director, photographer, assignment desk editor, and any other positions needed on a given day.
Katie worked as a BYU First-Year Mentor from June of 2013 to December of 2014. As a mentor, she worked with approximately seventy students per semester students and supported their academic and personal success. One of her most important jobs was to contact, meet, and follow-up with student individually. Her interactions with students also included mass emails, individual emails, and phone calls.
Katie is from Bluffton, South Carolina where she graduated from Bluffton High School in 2012. She was the president of the student body as well as the Public Relations officer in the National Honor Society. She also won second place in the Coastal Empire Leadership Development Association speech contest while still in high school.
Katie loves South Carolina and enjoys visiting her family there as often as possible. She especially likes the beach and ocean kayaking while home. She has a passion for Southern food that only Paula Deen can understand. She likes to travel and try new adventures any chance she gets. She is married the love of her life, Derek.

Sample Scripts
Government Transparency Report Gives Utah a D-
ANCHOR LEAD: A RECENT STUDY DONE BY A B-Y-U PROFESSOR SAYS THAT UTAH GOVERNMENT GETS A "D" MINUS GRADE FOR TRANSPARENCY... OPENNESS AND INTEGRITY. ELEVEN NEWS REPORTER KATIE RYAN LOOKED AT WHY UTAH HAS A LOW SCORE... AND WHAT LAWMAKERS ARE DOING ABOUT IT. ###
PACKAGE:
F... F... F... SEVEN FAILING GRADES AND ONLY ONE A FOR THE B-HIVE STATE. A NEW REPORT FROM THE CENTER FOR PUBLIC INTEGRITY MAKES UTAH GOVERNMENT *NOT LOOK SO GOOD.
"Only three states score higher than D plus"
YOUR MOM MAY HAVE GROUNDED YOU FOR GRADES THIS BAD...
"We're in the middle. We're in the middle of the road. We're 25 out of 50 states.
...BUT UTAH'S OVERALL D-MINUS DOES NOT WHEN YOU COMPARE IT TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. B-Y-U PROFESSOR JOEL CAMPBELL HAS DEVOTED THE PAST YEAR TO STUDYING 13 AREAS OF UTAH GOVERNMENT.
"I went and interviewed people in the professions, in the government, or observers of government and said 'how are we doing? how would you rate based upon your knowledge and your experience, how would you rate government on these issues?'"
CAMPBELL ALSO EVALUATED STATE LAWS AND PRACTICES TO CALCULATE THE GRADES.
The study says that here in Utah....state budget processes are clear as glass. But pension decisions are made behind closed doors.
"Do they have open meetings, can you attend their meetings, do they have open records, can you get their records? In our state, we failed on all of those things"
AS WELL AS POLITICAL FINANCING... EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL ACCOUNTABILITY... STATE CIVIL SERVICE MANAGEMENT... LOBBYING DISCLOSURE... AND ETHICS ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES...
STATE LEGISLATOR NORM THURSTON'S REACTION TO THE STUDY WAS...
"Meh"
HE SAYS THE LETTER GRADE... DOESN'T MEAN MUCH TO HIM.
"Knowing that Utah's in the middle of the pack or slightly above average, I find to be fair. But calling it a D minus is not particularly meaningful."
THURSTON SAYS THE STUDY HAS TOO MANY DETAILS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT... AND WHERE TO TAKE ACTION.
"The report itself doesn't cause me a lot of heartburn... I didn't see anything there that we were being criticized for that I felt overly compelled to remedy."
IN SALT LAKE CITY... KATIE RYAN... ELEVEN NEWS.###
ANCHOR TAG: THE STATES WITH THE TOP THREE GRADES IN THE COUNTRY WERE ALASKA... CONNECTICUT... AND CALIFORNIA.###
Herriman Hills Initiative Causing a Conflict
ANCHOR: WE'RE RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF ELECTION DAY... AND PEOPLE IN HERRIMAN ARE VOTING ON AN INITIATIVE THAT'S CAUSING SOME TENSION IN THE CITY. ELEVEN NEWS REPORTER KATIE RYAN IS IN HERRIMAN TO SHOW US WHY SOME WANT THIS MEASURE TO PASS... AND OTHERS... SAY NO.
KATIE INTRO: YOU MAY REMEMBER SEVERAL YEARS AGO A DEVELOPER BOUGHT LAND IN DRAPER... THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWN AS SUNCREST WAS ON PRIME PROPERTY UP ON THE MOUNTAIN, BUT ENDED UP GOING BANKRUPT. THE PEOPLE HERE IN HERRIMAN ARE WORRIED THE SAME THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THESE MOUNTAINS... AND THEY'RE TRYING TO STOP IT.###
PACKAGE:
PEOPLE IN THE GROWING SALT LAKE COUNTY TOWN OF HERRIMAN HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THESE QUIET, PEACEFUL HILLS IN THEIR CITY. THEY'RE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE. ON EVERY STREET CORNER... SIGNS TO EITHER VOTE FOR OR AGAINST THE HERRIMAN HILLS INITIATIVE. THE BATTLE IS OVER BUILDING HOUSES...
“The last thing we want to do is have it open for development.”
ON THE HILLSIDE. THE CITIZEN INITIATIVE STARTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO... TO DESIGNATE THIS AREA AS OPEN SPACE.
“This is an opportunity for us to have a beautiful amenity in our backyard that we can develop and have it as a pristine place to recreate.”
KAMI GREENHAGEN-JONES SPEARHEADED THE EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE LAND...SHE SAYS THE CITY ALREADY HAS A FEDERAL GRANT THAT WILL MATCH WHAT THE CITY RAISES.
“We came up with the idea for the initiative which it requests a 7 dollar fee essentially monthly per household in Herriman that would be paid over twenty years. And that money would only be used to purchase and maintain the mountain.”
SHE SAYS IT WILL COST ABOUT 28 MILLION DOLLARS TO PAY FOR THE APPROXIMATELY 2000 ACRES... AND SHE SAYS THE TEN OR SO OWNERS OF THIS PROPERTY ARE READY TO SELL.
“We know that the majority of the landowners do want to sell their land, and are in favor of selling that land to the city if they city could come up with the funds to do so.”
FUNDING... IT'S EXACTLY WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE VOTING NO. NEIGHBORS APPEAR TO DISPUTE OVER HOW MUCH IT WILL ACTUALLY COST TO BUY THE LAND.
“Roughly 20 million that they'll raise from this with another 20 million matching funds, but the purchase is going to cost up to 180 million…”
HOMEOWNER GLEN JOHNSON SAYS THE CITY CANNOT AFFORD THE PURCHASE... EVEN WITH THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS AND GRANT MONEY.
“Clearly, when you're throwing money into something this vast, there is not a clear-cut plan, and there's not a cap on that plan for the funding, it's not worth doing.”
JOHNSON WELCOMES THIS QUIET OPEN SPACE… BUT HE SAYS THE HERRIMAN HILLS INITIATIVE IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY FOR THE CITY TO GO ABOUT ACQUIRING IT.
“They don't have everything secured from the landowners at a set price yet. Some of them they do, but not all of them. How many holdouts does it take to mess up the project?”
KATIE TAG: THE CITY SAYS THAT PURCHASING THE LAND AND ADDING THE 7 DOLLARS A MONTH WILL ACTUALLY SAVE THE PUBLIC MONEY IN THE LONG RUN… THEY SAY HAVING A NEIGHBORHOOD IN THIS AREA WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE COSTS BECAUSE THEY'D HAVE TO RUN WATER LINES, BUILD ROADS, AND ADD FIRE STATIONS AND OTHER UTILITIES IN THIS AREA THAT WOULD RAISE TAXES.
