A short while back, I posted a linkedin message from Julie Wolfe the new Regional VP at Tegna, and the former ND at KING. She posted the job for her replacement and concluded the post with NO JERKS NEED APPLY. It was totally inappropriate for someone at her level. Pejorative. I sent her post to her boss and the corporate folks at Tegna, and the original post now seems to be deleted. Hmm...maybe they all learned something. Just saying. We see you! Here's the original ICYMI:
I'm sorry to hear that you were blocked on the site, but it is good that Tegna has finally taken action in response to it. It was a bad look for the entire company, and KING especially.
ReplyDeleteMy money is that Assistant ND Thomas Lawnsby is going to get the nod for the job. Makes since he has been with KING since 2019 and been in the business for almost 30 years. If anything, it works best to have someone who knows the city at least and like the Almost Live! skit, knows the difference between Pike and Pine. The outlier is that TEGNA selects an ND from a Northwest station (KREM-Spokane or KGW-Portland) and have them do the same thing that FOX13 is doing and have them do double duty. Regarding Wolfe's remark that "No Jerks Need Apply", it adds fuel to the fire not for those who want to become the next ND at this "legacy" station, but for anyone (like myself) who have always wanted to work there. That's my two cents. Cheers!
