This is Where the Buisness is Headed

Okay, first, I want to give WAND’s (Decatur) Jacob Gordon credit for his hustle.

Gordon posted on his social media that he anchored the station’s 4 PM newscast and then turned around and produced the 5 PM newscast.

Again, props to the guy for hustling, but when your 5 PM Producer spends the hour before showtime on the set anchoring, you see the issue with that.

What happens to any news that might break between the time he gets on the set before the 4:00 news and 5 PM?

While this guy pulled it off, how can management think this is a good scenario?

The kid is doing two different jobs, which should be staffed by two people. I guess it’s about the money saved and not the journalism nowadays.

So sad…
