Yes, while KOMO's Stella Sun was covering a major fire in Tacoma, her dad joined her at her live shot. Really?

"I am no longer at Komo 4." Thanks. Longtime Weather Anchor Rebecca Stevenson confirms that she left the station just before Christmas. Her last Facebook posts are 12/17. She has the Seattle station Quintafecta, having worked at the old NWCN, KING, KIRO, KCPQ and KOMO. Looks like her decision. Wants a new chapter. She was doing mainly weekend evenings for KOMO. Perhaps Stella Sun will move there. She has been sharing weekend mornings with Theron Zahn.
“Really?” seems like a mean-spirited comment. It’s a sweet moment. Not like he was interviewed.
ReplyDeleteBrian a solid news reporter doesn't put him/herself in front of a story. What if a firemen died or sometone else died. WIll she do the same after covering a double homicide?? It is embarrassing and inappropriate. Her boss should call her out. She's a rookie, acting like it.
DeleteCover the story, save the selfies for your dad.
Wayne, that’s the tweet, not the story. I’m sure if the story had more gravity and actual lives were lost, she probably wouldn’t be tweeting photos of her smiling. Again, this is not her work product. I’m grateful when the on-air talent share a different aspect of their lives.
DeleteThe picture looks real sweet. Even though it comes amid a catastrophe, they both photograph well.

ReplyDeleteIt would have been in better taste if dad was pictured with her in a studio. Now I can see why it is inappropriate. I don't see evidence that TV news standards are going up, perhaps because I rarely watch local TV news.
