The Maven gets occasional hate mail from newspaper editors, reporters, headline writers and others who don't agree with some of the Maven's opinions. That's fair. In most all instances, those missives may be a bit pointed, but are usually handled on an adult level.
This afternoon when I Tweeted about WOWO News saying "out there on Fairfield" and pointing out that Fairfield was well within the City and that Aboite would be considered "out there", I received this response from the nameless, faceless.....and also gutless person Tweeting on the @WOWOFORTWAYNE account.
I can understand the frustration of a rookie newsreader, not from Fort Wayne, confusing local geography. However, as someone who has been a news director and operations manager for radio stations in cities much larger than Fort Wayne, Indiana.....I really don't think that a catty and unprofessional remark to a media critic (and avid listener) is in the best interests of the station. In the nameless and faceless realm of Social Media it must not matter.
Kayla is at best, not even a seasoned intern. And now Gregg-o has created the "WOWO Girls." I'm guessing they will attend the Hooter's garage sale for outfits.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting comment. Kayla has talent, but her bosses are doing her a disservice by not properly developing that talent and allowing her to continue her lazy writing and pronunciation, as well as curtailing her sing-song presentation. It would be helpful if she could invest some time in reducing her overuse of presentation crutches like "out there" and "guys". Fort Wayne will never be her home, she's just building a resume on her way to a bigger market. Just like her boss.
