“I’ve worked in several newsrooms to this point in my career. While working for KMID this person experienced: Plays favorites openly, talks bad about people behind their back (including who he can’t wait to fire). Petty, manipulative, controlling, two-faced. dont just walk past their job openings….RUN!!!” They are desperate but cant get good people to stay because of the toxic environment. For examples on how not to do a news cast….this is it. and check out how often a live mic is on when it should be off and vice versa……dead air/go to black (unintentionally) all the time. This station also hires people with no journalism background and that shows up (go online and see all the misspellings and grammerical errors. Its the biggest reason there is no communications at this station…you can never get ahold of anyone because everyones in a meeting. (actually lack of management…just research the ND….they snagged her from a police station job…she was out of News for a reason….) Oh…one other thing if you like meetings this is your station… they are always in meetings.
This station has a lock on being #4 until it get rid of the toxic management there now. If you are thinking of working there….I’d wait a few more months until Scripps cleans house again. No one will ever complement you or ‘look to catch you doing something right’…About the most unprofessional news room I have ever seen as to everyone trying to point a finger at everyone else….no one wants to take responsibility. “This station is a ‘look for someone doing something wrong’ stations. Apparently happy to be #4, no effort to move up.” (All reporters try to get on of the anchors to do the script reads because they are the only true journalist there) The lack of journalism ethics is unreal for a station this size. Reporters all complain about the rewrites by the RT Assignment desk and the ND/AND. Very politically slanted in the oposite direction for a Fox station (because its owned by Scripps…) ND and AsstND both very liberal and it shows. Parent Company Scripps already changed staff once in the last year (New GM and then every management position down to Chief Photogh ….even all the engineering staff left!) and I can see them doing it again. This station is #4 for a reason….it’s poor leadership and management. They then let go another Wx person who’d been with the station for many years and an Anchor who was with the station for just shy of 20 years! I was warned, being older they would look for reasons to terminate my employment….and they were right. “I was hired in right as two POC (an anchor and an On Air Wx Person ) were being let go. Racial Discrimination, Sexual Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment While working for WFTX this person experienced: Never gave reviews or critics on your work.” They will make a lot of false promises to get you in the job but you will be overworked and gaslit if you ever express concern about it. She runs through HR meetings more than anything and has a problem with almost every employee of color.
Candace McHan the Assistant News Director is extremely unqualified for her position and somehow has found time to be on air while she’s supposed to help run the newsroom but offers little to no assistance. There is also a lack of organization and camaraderie in the news room ever since new management started. “Management was of no help when reporting negative behavior and they will turn on you and say their actions are your fault. This person describes the overall newsroom environment as: If you are a new grad looking for your first job please do not come here you will lose your excitement and zest for the industry.” Will pit employees against each other and lie about the workplace environment for his own benefit. Jerry Goodman is not qualified for this position and lacks strong news judgment. “If you are a female news reporter, run far away from this station.
