All local TV news web sites feature bios and pictures of the news team. Many will also include a group photo of their lead people. But how many sites feature four of the most beautiful female members of the on-air staff, regardless of their prominence or years of experience? When you go to the Fox 61 web site a graphic reading “Meet the Team” will eventually come up featuring Sarah French, Jennifer Lahmers, Rachel Lutzker and Erika Arias.
But….aren’t Susan Christensen, Brent Hardin, Rich Coppola and Garett Argianas the 10 pm news team? Nothing against the four women whom management has featured, but we detect more than a wee bit of sexism and ageism in this choice…
The news business, like all businesses, is going through tough times. I guess they feel that emphasizing their younger, prettier staff will attact viewers. I don’t think that it will work. Wait a minute… Katy Zachry is one of the reasons I watch WFSB. Hmmmm.
I understand Lutzker and Arias, but why the others and not Rebecca Stewart or even Logan Byrnes to add a guy in.
So when willl Joe Furey be shown in a similar pose as the ladies?
Where is Rebecca Stewart?
