Channel One News is now putting out want ads to find a new “reporter” for their show. With the departure of Steven Fabian they are down to three: Jessica Kumari, Shelby Holliday, and Justin Finch.
At one time Channel One News was a stepping stone to employment with a legitimate news gathering organizations. That day is long gone. A person thinking about taking a risk and applying for this Channel One position should check out the new job of the guy who just left that position. Mr. Fabian did not land a job with a big league news organization, but with a start-up called Right This Minute, a long-shot syndication gamble.
Channel One News is a dead brand. It will be increasing difficult for them to attract people to their company.
Earlier this summer, Channel One was looking for a vice president of sales. I have no idea if they found anyone to fill that prestigious job. (June 22, 2011 Applicant must be desperate and familiar with exploiting schoolchildren.)
