The President/CEO of The E.W. Scripps Co. on Thursday shared a letter to colleagues about a local news initiative that will transform how its local broadcast TV stations report and produce its newscasts on a daily basis.
“I’m excited about the opportunity we have in front of us and hope you’ll be encouraged by our dedication to the mission,” Adam Symson said. In short, Scripps seeks nothing but the best, and is ready to invest millions in increased salaries while adding “about 250 on-the-ground resources to our local reporting teams.”
At the same time, a fundamental shift in how Scripps’ local news teams operates is on the way.
