Mass Exodus in Albany
It appears a number of on-air jobs are opening up at the same time in Albany, NY.
In the past 5 days, 4 journalists who announced they were leaving the market. Melissa Lee, Sam Hesler, Jesse MacWilliam and Spencer Tracy all announced that they were leaving their stations.
The Times Union writes that Tracy and MacWilliam are staying in the industry, but leaving the area. Lee is headed south and taking time to focus on being a mom to her newborn son and her toddler daughter.
Hesler is headed to Siena.
While turnover in smaller markets is nothing new, the fact that 4 people announced they were leaving in the span of a week, is out of the normal.
If Albany, NY is on your list, it might be a good time to dust of the resume and start sending it.
