Pete Kenworthy

I joined Kent State University’s Division of University Communications and Marketing in 2026 as a content creator, where I tell stories through video, photography and written content. I’m particularly interested in finding the people, places and moments that help show what makes Kent State special.

Before joining Kent State, I spent 10 years at University Hospitals in Cleveland, where I served as a senior producer and manager of multimedia production, leading a team that produced more than 300 videos each year. Before that, I spent 13 years as a broadcast journalist in Waco, Texas, Buffalo, New York, and Cleveland, where I finished my television career as a morning news anchor at WEWS-TV.

I’ve also spent time teaching as an adjunct professor in Kent State’s School of Media and Journalism.

Outside of my Kent State work, I also run my multimedia production company, PK Productions. 

I’m a graduate of The College of Wooster, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in English, and Southern Methodist University, where I earned a master’s degree in TV/Radio.
