Local News Channel Follows Up With Self-Serving Interview After Reporter Hit by Car
The Thursday night follow-up was squarely focused on making the news channel look good.
WSAZ
The day after local West Virginia TV on-scene broadcaster Tori Yorgey was struck by a car live on air, the local news affiliate that employs her followed up by conducting a self-serving interview with the reporter. “I had so many people reach out to me, and I appreciate it,” Yorgey said Thursday night. “After that happened, I do want to say, my boss took me to the hospital. I did get checked out. Everything is OK. No broken bones.” The on-scene reporter went on to add: “I love my WSAZ family. I can’t speak highly of you all enough. Tim [the anchor], you called me right after...and I do just want to point out, we can’t see when we are at the anchor desk what’s going on right away.”
I’ll just leave this here and let you all discuss how WSAZ decided to handle the aftermath on the news tonight. pic.twitter.com/OHdT6Vk325
