Longtime WDBJ Anchor Robin Reed is landed a second job, but will continue to anchor the news.

Reed is joining Virginia Tech’s Department of Communication beginning in the Fall Semester.  He will teach several courses at the school including Multimedia Journalism, Broadcast Performance and Broadcast Management (insert your own joke an Anchor teaching broadcast management here).

“This new dual role for Robin is a win-win,” said WDBJ News Director David Hughes, “Students will have the opportunity to learn from one of the most respected journalists in our area while viewers will be able to continue to enjoy getting their news from Robin each night at 6pm.”

Reed is in his 36th year at WDBJ7

“This is the perfect pairing of broadcast experience and college instruction. I can’t wait to share this exciting profession with the students and still report the news” said Reed. 

If he shares how life really is in TV news, it is likely that most kids will change their major before leaving school.

Just saying...
