Hire Before Leaving School

This was certainly not something you saw in this business 10 or 15 years ago.

Kids are getting hired by TV news operations before graduating college.

Not only that but they are getting hired in markets that used to be second or third steps for young Journalists.

We hear Cory Kowitz is graduating from North Carolina State University in May. Kowitz is majoring in meteorology with a focus on broadcasting.

But, before he celebrates his graduation, we hear that Gray’s KOLD has already hired Kowitz in Tucson.

As they say, the times are a changing….
