News Dirctors
Estelle Parsley
Estelle Parsley and Sarah Lusk have run the morale of this newsroom into the ground. They claim to care about the mental health of their employees, but when employees begin to struggle because of the environment they’ve created, they get questioned instead of supported. The description of the news director stated in the other review is spot on. There is no open door policy at this station where employees would feel comfortable going to management for support, that is, unless you’re one of their favorites at the moment. While some things at this station can be nice and you will learn a lot, the over arching theme is that they do not care about their employees. Content is king here, no matter the cost, even if the price is the mental health of their employees.

Estelle Parsley
She was an evil, vindictive, vile woman who made all who worked under her work in fear.
Sexual Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The news director picked favorites and was well known for being biased towards females over males in the newsroom. She destroyed careers of those who tried to break their contracts to get away from her. Her demeanor was always cold, unfriendly, and unsupportive. How she has maintained being the news director for three decades is beyond me, since the newsroom itself is notorious for high turnover and low morale.
The station is a dumpster fire and they are known to sucker young talent out of college into contracts they can’t get out of. The atmosphere is catty and cliquey, and the morale is lower than ever. Avoid at all costs.
