In Reply To: Thanks for the inside scoop. It was quite the eye-opener. I really don't like to see young women with middle aged guys behind the news desk, but maybe that's just me. That pairing to me makes females look less credible and more like window dressing than anything else. Times have changed over the years, but after reading your insider information, it doesn't look as though times have changed by much. Don't these agents and NDs take into account that it's women who are home watching the 5 pm news when making their husband's dinner? Or that it's women who make 80 percent of the decisions for all domestic purchases? Advertisers know this. Why hasn't the news biz gotten in step? It's a bit antiquated, don't you think? BTW, what market are you in, demographic-wise? Thanks again for your post.
Message: I truly applaud the minority that works his/her tail off and goes to a big market, and the white reporter/anchor as well... But come on...you must admit-if you want to leap frog markets- being white and below average looking doesn't help.
