Chloe Adams
Chloe Adams reports for News 13 as a general assignment journalist whose work often centers on how health issues intersect with everyday life and local community concerns.
Health risks in everyday settings
Within her role, she often takes the lead on health stories that turn broad public-health trends into concrete risks and decisions for families and pet owners. In one recent piece on the surge in tick bites, she focuses on how contact with household pets drives many cases, drawing on veterinarians as expert voices to connect animal care with human health outcomes. By framing a national issue through the lens of local behavior and pet ownership, she highlights practical, day-to-day choices that shape community health rather than treating the topic as abstract disease coverage.
Community recovery and culture post-Helene
Adams also covers how community institutions respond after major disruptions, with a particular focus on arts and culture as part of long-term recovery. Her reporting on a musical theater group working to stage year-round performances in Asheville after Helene shows how she tracks the ongoing effects of severe weather beyond the immediate damage, following how organizers rebuild schedules, audiences, and funding over time. In that coverage she treats theater not just as entertainment but as a civic asset, showing how sustained programming can help stabilize local routines and morale in the wake of a storm.
General assignment reporting for News 13
Adams joined News 13 in March 2026 as a general assignment reporter, and her portfolio reflects a comfort moving between hard news, health-focused features, and community stories. In this capacity she contributes to the station’s daily news cycle, filing segments that can air across newscasts, including early-morning programs where she appears on air to walk viewers through the latest developments. Her work is built around clear sourcing and accessible language, often using subject-matter experts and people directly affected by an issue to ground broader trends in specific, local experience.
Before arriving at News 13, Adams built experience in television and digital news as a reporter and multimedia journalist, including work with an ABC affiliate and contributing roles that required her to research, pitch, shoot, and edit her own stories. She maintains an active professional presence on social platforms, using them to highlight her latest segments and extend her reporting beyond the broadcast into short updates and behind-the-scenes context. Across these roles she has developed a style that favors compact, plainly written pieces that keep the focus on the subject—whether that is a health risk, an arts initiative, or a local effort to rebuild after disruption—over the reporter herself.
