Chris Best
Overall, it was a horrendous experience. I would not recommend taking a position here under his leadership, or lack thereof.
Sexual Harassment, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Several photographers talked about women in ways that could be described as less than respectful. However, the worst thing about this station is its news director. Chris Best arrived once Nexstar took over. Chris Best replaced a very respectful, very helpful and encouraging news director named Mike Rausch. We were all sad, but willing to get to know this new boss. HE WAS TERRIBLE. So many people quit the station after only a few months of Chris Best in charge. Reporters paid THOUSANDS to get out of his grasp. If you want to cover only BLOOD/CRIME, your headlines to be nothing but clickbait, to literally walk the line of fake news, to cancel your interviews for a really good story (at the last minute) to switch to a turnover on the interstate, to be treated like dirt and work in a toxic environment this is the place for you.
What else is there to say? Don't do it! You've been warned.
