If you are looking for a TV news job in South Florida, you might want to start sucking up to Nicole Wolfe.

Scripps has named Wolfe the new News Director at start-up news operation WSFL in South Florida.

She comes from the Scripps station in Tampa and she has a LOT of hiring to do.

Here is the internal memo, obtained by FTVLive:

Subject: Our News Director  

Team,

I’m excited to announce we have found the leader who will launch WSFL’s news organization. Nicole Wolfe, currently the Assistant News Director at our sister station in Tampa, will join us next month.

Nicole has more than 22 years of experience as a journalist. In addition to Tampa, she has held key newsroom leadership positions in Dallas, Denver, Columbus, Philadelphia and Orlando. Her successful track record of launching newscasts, leading teams of reporters and photojournalists, and designing coverage for big events will be a huge asset for our organization.

I’ve seen firsthand the work Nicole has done in Tampa, helping to continuously improve the journalism produced by the station, and I know she will bring the same collaborative spirit to South Florida.

Nicole is excited by the challenge of building our newsroom, and working alongside all of you. I can’t wait to introduce her to you in person as soon as possible.

Thank you, and see you all later this week,
Bill

Bill Siegel
Vice President & General Manager WSFL-TV
