WINK News

For more than 11 years, WINK News anchor Corey Lazar has covered Southwest Florida’s most high-profile news stories. As a reporter and now as a morning anchor, his goal has been to help viewers make sense of the latest news and prepare them for what lies ahead. And to keep ahead of the ever-fluctuating news cycles, Lazar said he’s been motivated by learning to accept change.

“You can fight and resist change, or you can welcome it, grow with it and embrace it,” Lazar says. “Remind yourself that the only constant is change and with the right attitude, you can leverage change for positive growth.”

Away from the newsroom, Lazar has served on the board of directors for the Boys & Girls Club of Lee County and now serves on the board for the National Alliance on Mental Illness for Lee, Charlotte and Hendry Counties. For the last four years, he has acted as the chairman of the annual NAMI Walk and also is the co-chair for the Gentle’men Against Domestic Violence event for The Shelter for Abused Women & Children. In addition to his volunteer efforts, Lazar mentors young journalists at WINK News and helps to create newsroom leaders among young producers.
