Elizabeth Fitz joined News 9 in October 2024 and now leads reporting that aims to hold institutions to account across Oklahoma. Her work concentrates on stories with immediate impact for residents—especially in the areas of investigative reporting, education and public safety.
Raised in Indianapolis, Fitz built her journalism foundation at Indiana University, earning a B.A. in News Reporting and Editing with minors in Spanish and Theatre. Before arriving at News 9 she anchored evening newscasts in Bozeman, Montana, and weekend newscasts in Lubbock, Texas, bringing both newsroom experience and on-air familiarity to her current beat.
She has a particular interest in uncovering systemic problems and amplifying voices from underrepresented communities. That focus shapes how she approaches daily coverage and longer investigations, prioritizing factual reporting and tangible outcomes over spectacle.

When she’s off the clock, Fitz is usually out with her dogs—Rosie, a Goldendoodle, and Winnie, a mini poodle—or hunting for new plants at local garden centers. She also likes testing neighborhood coffee shops in search of a reliably good brew.
