August 18, 2008
Greetings:
Slow.
That’s an understatement in describing this week’s newsletter. We have just ONE new ND to tell you about, and, as far as I know, there are NO new openings.
My figures now show 30 open ND positions around the country.
We have a handful of new news management openings, and just two items in Names in the News. Please send us items for that via email at: rick@rickgevers.com
All that scintillating content comes after this week’s change:
NEW NEWS DIRECTOR OPENINGS:
None, that I am aware of.
NEW NEWS DIRECTORS NAMED:
WOWK-TV, Charleston/Huntington, WV…LEEZA GLAZIER has been promoted to News Director for this West Virginia Media Holdings owned CBS affiliate. She has been the EP there and started at the station doing weather on the morning news. She’s also worked in Shreveport and Alexandria, LA. Leeza replaces RON MILLER who left the station in April after almost three years as ND.
