Mary Ann Childers joins strategic communications firm

Long-time Chicago anchor and reporter Mary Ann Childers, who was among those cut last spring in a cost-cutting sweep of CBS-owned WBBM-Ch. 2, has joined the Res Publica Group, a Chicago-based strategic communications firm.

*snip*
drawing on her vast experience to help with strategy, media training, marketing, branding, reputation management and crisis counsel.

Before Childers' 1994 arrival at WBBM -- where husband Jay Levine continues as chief correspondent –- she spent 14 years at ABC-owned WLS-Ch. 7

Jay Levine

The other pushy 'journalist' I found .. Charles Thomas .. ABC Chicago .. obviously without the glasses.

Those two are RE PR people, not reporters.

Pathetic.

I must remember to email the station (or post to their website) and ask them if the station’s chief correspondence job requires prior WWF experience. One would assume it is a must.
