Janelle Stelson is an American former television news anchor who worked at WGAL. Before that, she worked at WHTM, WPLG, and WHP, and WITF.[1]
Broadcast journalism career
[edit]After graduating from University of Puget Sound with a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics and government, she began her broadcast journalism career at WHTM in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania as a general assignment reporter, weather and climate anchor for three years.[2] She then left for Miami, Florida, and joined WPLG in 1989.[3]
Returning to Pennsylvania, she joined WHP in Harrisburg, anchoring the 6 pm and 11 pm newscasts.[4] In addition, she also worked with WITF radio, hosting a statewide public tv broadcast, and anchored "Computer Chronicles" on PBS.[5]
She then joined WGAL in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1997.[6] She worked there as the co-anchor of the "News 8 at 4, 5:30, 10, and 11 pm" newscasts.[7]
On September 14, 2023, Stelson announced near the end of "News 8 at 5:30" that she would be leaving WGAL to pursue other interests after nearly 40 years as a journalist, with 26 of those years at WGAL, and that September 15 would be her last newscast.[8]
Political campaigns
[edit]In 2024, Stelson ran for Congress as a Democrat in Pennsylvania's 10th district against multi-term incumbent Republican Scott Perry but lost by about 6,000 votes.[9] In July 2025, Stelson announced her candidacy for the 10th Congressional district seat in the 2026 election.[10][11]
