Chris Jansing is a 1978 graduate of Otterbein College, where she spent much of her time in the WOBN radio station. Originally from Fairport Harbor, Ohio, she stumbled upon Otterbein on accident.

Jansing has covered stories like 9/11, the Tucson shootings, an erupting volcano, hunger, homlessness, the Pope and a Veitnam war hero meeting the Viet Kong general that ordered the ambush of his platoon (airing next week).
Although Jansing has lived in California and Ohio and travelled the world, she shared that she loves New York City.
In her free time Jansing enjoys reading, baking and spending time with her brother, nieces and nephews, friends, and when she can, her college roommate, Bev.
