Longtime KPHO/KTVK Reporter Donna Rossi says you can stick a fork in her, she's done. 

“After nearly 30 years in broadcast journalism, I am retiring this Friday. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life because I love what I do,” Rossi wrote in a Facebook post.

The Arizona Republic writes that Rossi joined KPHO in 1994; she began appearing on KTVK in 2016 after the stations merged. In a phone call Wednesday, she said that changes in the media landscape did not influence her decision. 

"The industry has changed more in the past eight years than in the first 22 I was in it," she said with a laugh. "I think I’m a testament to the opposing view that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. ... There are some very positive things that some of the new technologies are offering not only journalists and the general public." 

She said she was offered a three-year contract by the station but chose not to renew. 

"I was thinking maybe there was a new challenge out there for me," she said. "I don't know what it looks like, but the time was now to see what else there was out there for me. I've had an incredibly blessed career, and I don't know what the next phase looks like." 

Props to Rossi for a long career and props to announcing she is retiring and then leaving a couple days later. 

None of this months away crap that so many in this business do.
