Another 25-66 reporter leaving

Post by sinklair » Fri Jul 31, 2020 10:20 am

Jasmyn Durham, who has reported on 25-66’s 4 hour long morning show, is leaving the station after three years.

Another example of how the stations is incapable/unwilling to keep good people in front and behind the camera... especially if your skin has any melanin.

A bunch of idiots... lead by the In over her head News Director who believe everyone is replaceable... especially if they can reduce pay.

Good luck Jaz! We and our viewers will miss you!

I hope she's going to a larger market. I wish her the best.

At least one station group gets it...

Tegna can recognize the need to be more inclusive, however Sinclair/25-66 continues to lose great persons of color due to its nearly exclusive white management team.

TEGNA management team is mostly white Ellen Crooke is part of it why didn't she hire more persons of color I thought that article was more lip service and spin from Ellen Crooke.

Lip service is still miles better than Chris Ripley, Scott Livingston, (insert new 25-66 GM here), the HR Director/party planner, or the In Over Her Head News Director have done to promote any diversity here on Pierson Road. Even the self-proclaimed “largest Black owner of local TV stations” Armstrong Williams couldn’t respond/defend the appalling lack of diversity at his station when questioned about it.
