News Dirctors

Mark Parrick
He treats employees like numbers. If you can't do the work or change your schedule you are not fit for news.
Employees are great and dedicated to great journalism. Mark has proven he will change anything about an employee's schedule without consulting them first. There are no raises and no morale in the newsroom. Reporters complain about being overworked and under appreciated, same goes for a few anchors. I hope things change because KOLR10 is a great station with a great channel. Employees are just not feeling heard.

Very good, comfortable experience
This is a great station to work for. Your co-workers are your friends. You almost always get a photographer. It's a stressful job, but the News Director, Asst News Director and Assignment Editor do everything they can to make it easier for you. This is a great place to live, learn and create a strong reel. Despite being the #2 station, I would prefer it over rumors of a toxic work environment at the #1 station.

Chuck Maulden
Best news director I've worked with. Always available to chat, answer questions, in person or via phone. Feedback when necessary and when asked. ETHICS is his number one priority. Truly cares about his employees.
The desk is a little disorganized. We've missed a couple events and sometimes you don't find out you are working on your normal day off until a couple days before.
Overall, a great place to work. The newsroom feels like family. Chuck, the producers and the desk are very helpful and collaborative. Ethics is a priority - Chuck always asks "does the public have a right to know?" He runs the newsroom as best as possible, always putting employees and our safety first, and great content on air. You'll never run a live shot by yourself. MMJ occasionally. Enterprise over death & destruction. Chuck for President.

Excellent. Chuck cares about his people and helps them grow.
KOLR10 employees have the same challenges as anyone who works in TV, however, they have a news director and management team that cares about them and wants them to succeed -- something most newsrooms lack these days. It's not a perfect place, no TV station is perfect, but it's a great place to grow and learn among good people who do fair and ethical journalism. I look back at my time there very fondly.
