Tegna’s KVUE (Austin) has found their next News Director and it is an interesting hire.

The station announced that they have hired Christina Ginn as the next news boss, replacing Tim Ryan who went back to Denver and Tegan’s KUSA.

Ginn is making the move from cable news back to local TV news.

She is currently an Executive Producer for NBC News and MSNBC in New York City and in the last 10 years has worked as a network executive producer for MSNBC and CNN.

Ginn does have local news experience, working previously at Central Florida News 13, Orlando and WKRN in Nashville.

“With such a connected society, somehow we are less connected than ever and seemingly more divided,” Ginn said. “Local news connects neighbors, government and commerce. It creates space to hear all sides. We go deeper on stories that matter. We engage and support our community. Local news is meaningful, urgent and dynamic. It holds the powerful to account while also telling great stories. I’m honored and humbled to continue the rich KVUE legacy and tradition of going deeper on stories that matter to Austin and excited by the opportunity to evolve and lead that storytelling for today’s changing consumer.”
