Brad Ginsberg
Horrific
Racial Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
He is clearly turned on by attractive white women and holds them on a pedestal in the news room. As a cis white man when he refers to black employees as “my brotha or my sista” the entire news room cringes.
Brad Ginsberg is one of the most toxic news directors I have ever known. A micro manager to the hilt. He will tell you one thing and do another. Promise you someone’s job who still works there, even if they’re not leaving. His favorite game is to pit employees against one another. He’ll pull you into private meetings and give you a little information about another employee that puts them in a negative light, and then he does the same thing with that employee. If he’s mad at you, he takes out revenge with story selection and schedule shifting. He’s an absolute monster about time, don’t think about asking for comp time even if your working 6 days a week. In the past year 25 people have left this station, because of Brad Ginsberg. Until he’s gone stay far away.
Brad Ginsberg
Nice guy, has a lot on his plate and things can get cluttered. He's a good guy and genuinely wants the best for the entire newsroom.
The station has been number one for years, and it deserves it's rating. They are good to all of their employees and give reporters time and freedom to learn and hone their craft. Monroe is a great news market. A lot of the management staff here has been around a while and are open to new ideas and give fair, constructive feedback. As an anchor there is plenty of opportunity to get better and work with some talented minds. For a starter market, this is a great place to begin. Would highly recommend to anyone wanted to get a start in the business.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The assignment manager Richard Sommers is a bad apple in the newsroom. He has been there forever and is incompetent, has no real journalism background and treats the new reporters at this starter market like the dumbest people alive. He will belittle you and insult you personally in meetings. He doesn't do his job and has clear biases in the community.
Get in and get out. Don't spend more time than you need to in this starter market.
