Patrece Dayton Joins WTWO News Team
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — WTWO is proud to announce that veteran journalist Patrece Dayton will be joining our news team part-time, focusing on special reports that matter most to the Wabash Valley.
With nearly 37 years of experience delivering trusted news coverage, Patrece is a familiar face and respected voice in the community. Her deep connection to the region and passion for storytelling have made her a staple in local journalism.
'We're thrilled to welcome Patrece back to local broadcast journalism,' said Tim Sanders, VP/General Manager of WTWO. 'I truly believe she's not finished making an impact—her storytelling is powerful, and we're honored to have her continue that work right here at WTWO.'
While Patrece will be contributing part-time to WTWO, her primary role is with Thrive West Central, where she helps connect residents and communities to services that support growth and well-being.
'I enjoy working for Thrive West Central and I will continue spending the majority of my time getting the word out about the wonderful programs Thrive provides our community,' said Dayton. 'But this part-time reporter position at WTWO will allow me to continue my love of writing and storytelling.'
Patrece is also a proud mother to two adult sons, Mitchell and Grant, who are the love of her life. In her spare time, she enjoys walking with friends, hiking Indiana's beautiful state parks, and spending time outdoors.
Tune into Good Day Live at 11 a.m. to see an on-air interview with Patrece and hear about her new journey she is embarking on.
