Jillian Mele became a member of the Action News family in January 2022. She is a Glenside, Pa. native who is excited to return home and share stories that have an impact on the community where she grew up.
Jillian worked as a network reporter and anchor in New York City for the last four and a half years, covering events across the country.
She was on the ground hours after the tragic Las Vegas shooting, covered Hurricanes Dorian and Irma live on location, and covered the 2019 World Series from start to finish while following the teams on the road. She even reported live from the Parkway on the Eagles’ Super Bowl Parade!
Jillian has written extensively about the 2020 Presidential Election, COVID-19, and the impact it will have on small business owners across the country. In fact, it was her coverage of the pandemic and interviews with business owners that prompted her to pursue an MBA from LaSalle University in Philadelphia.
Jillian was curious about the inner workings of our economy and how it affects each of us.
Jillian had the honor of interviewing WWII veteran, hero, and D-Day survivor Ray Lambert while in New York. Ray, like many of his generation, rarely spoke of his wartime experiences.
Jillian considers the fact that he shared his experience with her to be one of her greatest honors, and she treasures that interview.
