So Much For Journalism
/WACH (Columbia, SC) morning Anchor Olivia DiVenti is very, very happy.
Why is that?
Did she just do an investigative story that changed laws in her city?
No.
Was her newscast singled out for a Murrow award?
Nope.
No, she is so excited that she has hit 100,000 friends on TikTok.
Today, I hit 100,000 friends on TikTok! Thankful for my amazing GDC team & station @wachfox for allowing me to hang with y’all every morning.

If I can bring you confidence to go for your dreams - or help you start you day off right - I’m one happy gal. pic.twitter.com/QDNorBnNga
If you were thinking that she was providing those people following her with informative information, you would be wrong.
She offers up “gems” like this.
Are you following me on TikTok?! I think I’m funny 🤣 @wachfox pic.twitter.com/zQ9VTKY0Nb

And to think that some people still wonder why the trust in local TV news has never been lower?
