Award-winning journalist Colton Shone loves hard news. Holding the powerful accountable and keeping the public well-informed is the news philosophy he lives by.
Colton became a weekend anchor/reporter at KOLD News 13 and FOX 11 Tucson Now in October 2013. Not long after arriving in
the Old Pueblo, he was thrown into one of the biggest stories to go national. Three sisters were allegedly held captive by their parents for years.
Colton got exclusive interviews with the victim's family members.
Prior to Tucson, Colton was a reporter for CBS 5 News in Phoenix for three years. He was part of the incredible team coverage of the Yarnell Hill Wildfire that killed 19 hot shots. He covered various aspects of a controversial immigration bill that polarized the state and the country: SB1070.
A Phoenix native, Colton was crazy lucky he didn't have to travel far for his first on-air job. He started out as a radio reporter and anchor at News/Talk 92.3 KTAR.
It was there Colton was awarded with an Edward R. Murrow Award by the Radio Television Digital News Association. He also won three Associated Press awards for his feature pieces. Several of his stories were heard around the country on ABC National Radio News.
A member of the Navajo Nation, Colton believes in giving back to his community by getting Native American stories out there. He also loves the Rez! A member of the Native American Journalists Association, he volunteers at many high school and college workshops trying to get Native American students interested in journalism.
Colton graduated from ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Go Sun Devils!
