Lol. Keyword search, ‘agressive’.

Goldklank runs her station with an aggressive approach that one might find on a national network or cable news station. She sent Hausle to Minnesota to show that WHDH was there for the big story. She wanted Boston viewers to see the story from a local face.

At 39, she’s the youngest and only female general manager in a TV news market that is crowded with men who are mostly over 50. She took the reins at WHDH in July after Mike Carson, 65, retired after 14 years of running the station.

A fast talker and power walker with an undiluted Long Island accent, Goldklank describes herself as “a tiny lady” who goes at “1,000 miles an hour.” Former and current colleagues describe her as a go-getter, aggressive and hard-charging - skills she’s using to run one of Boston’s biggest news operations in the country’s seventh largest TV market.

“She is extremely aggressive but in a positive and professional way,” says Carson, now a consultant for WHDH. “She believes in working hard, but she also believes in having fun along the way.”

Randy Price, WHDH’s longtime news anchor, was struck by Goldklank’s fresh perspective on TV news.

“She brings a lot of new ideas and a different kind of energy to an increasingly challenging marketplace,” he says. “But she’s also grounded in the basic concepts that we need to be responsive to the people we serve.”

"Former and current colleagues describe her as a go-getter, aggressive and hard-charging..."

Haven't we all known at least one of these?

Guilty.
