KTVI

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Toxic does not even begin to describe the gulag by the landfill. Not even the common decency to give a shred of compassion to anyone of the inmates that may be having health related issues or family problems due to the long hours they are forced to endure daily. While shoveling slop into the news bin for your nightly consumption, crews are sent into hostile and dangerous situations with no regard for their safety. Ferguson anyone? I watched live as my former colleagues were pelted with rubber bullets and subjected to tear gas all in the name of live TV. Be safe my friends. Some of you will figure out who this is.

This newsroom under a previous ND used to be the envy of storytelling in the market. With many creative and award winning photojournalists on staff. Now slaves to the daily grind to feed the ever hungry monster it has become under Titler and Lame Ass (the assignment sidekick) creative story telling is a thing of the past. Many really talented people still reside in the gulag. From editors and photogs to the staff behind the scenes. Though their souls have been crushed, the forge on.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Easily the most worthless, useless, and talentless News Director-team I have ever had the displeasure with whom to work. There is absolutely no semblance of leadership or vision for how to cover local news, which is sad since it is broadcast journalism 101 type knowledge. The depth to which they lack the ability to recognize and reward reporters and photog talent is almost unimaginable. Therefore, real talent runs from the station at the first opportunity. That is if the News Director and her flunky have not threatened them away already. If the failure to effectively communicate with the staff is not bad enough, the inability to organize the news staff is equally appalling. Any accomplishments achieved at the station are due to the conscientiousness of others in the news room who know (A) how to treat people and (B) cover news. If the station upper management ever hopes to improve the on-air product and ratings, they need to consider finding a news director who does not micromanage, alienate, divide, bully, threaten, harass, lie, kill morale, and treat the job responsibilities as an afterthought.
