Found this interesting tidbit here in the post-Jones era. You may remember PJ Randhawa, who was a Race and Equity reporter for KING 5 for about 18 months before moving to Chi-town in June 23. I wish she could have done a series like that here, on why it is so hard to get a doctor's appointment: "WMAQ, NBC 5 Chicago, the NBC-owned station, is airing a weeklong, five-part NBC 5 Responds: Doctor Deficit series led by PJ Randhawa, WMAQ’s consumer investigative reporter." I think there's been a void in strong, showcased, consisten consumer reporting in Seattle since Jesse Jones was cut from KIRO, although the station still uses various reporters to tell occasional stories. KOMO is pushing Waste Watch and KING has its Investigators Team but not in the same genre. Not sure what 13 does, so fill me in.
She has a Masters from USC, has taught at Seattle U, but seems lost on ARC Seattle, just a reader with no depth. She couldn't offer a knowledgeable, tangible thought about the gun violence issue in Seattle the other morning. I previously posted about it . I expect much more journalistic and anchor skills. I observe lots of bragging about accolades and glam pics on website. Build traffic reports into a transpo beat? Offer some stories you broke, or any substantive coverage. Where's the cred? https://www.tyrahmajors.com/
