WOI

This station is currently going through a lot of changes but in my eyes, they all have been positive. The group of people who work in the newsroom now are all positive and are excited to see the station continue to improve. We just released a new app and brand new website, as well as just hit 1 million monthly views for the first time. There are lots of great, new things going on here and I am excited to see where it goes.

Great place to learn from seasoned, award winning storytellers.
Advancement opportunities are given to those who want to try new challenges.
Major improvements have been made to the station in the past 5 years.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

As long as April Samp is ND WOI-TV, DON'T WORK THERE! She will promise you many things during the interviewing process but it's all a SCAM. Reporters who were promised photogs for live shots were sent to breaking news and other normal live shots (ALONE). The station is so bad ... reporters, photogs and editors have decided to leave ahead of time. There are many unorganized newsrooms but this is one of the worst. The ND cannot run an efficient editorial meeting, she will lash out at you when you least expect it. Even when the ND is there her mind is barely present - she has her EP pick up all her slack (which is why her EP is miserable). The station is last in the market which is why the newsroom is so toxic. People in the community and from the competion do not take WOI reporter, photogs - serious. BE VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT APPLYING OR TAKING A CALL FROM THE ND - She may seem nice but once she locks you in , you are screwed.

There are some great, talented people who work here. Great pit stop for anyone starting a career.
