Next time you drive past a reporter on the sidewalk just trying to do her job, and you decide to scream something very inappropriate... remember we are someone’s daughter, sister and girlfriend. Would you want your loved ones talked to like that?
This is what John Glenn International Airport looks like right now… dozens of bags arrived before their owner. They just keep piling up near baggage claim.
So far more than 60 flights have been cancelled from CMH today. Flyers describe their travel experience as a headache.
To the people who stood behind me during my live shot screaming at the top of their lungs: jokes on you I didn’t miss a beat 🤷🏻♀️
PSA: if you see a reporters going live on the street, remember they are doing their job. How would you feel if I screamed in your ear while you work?

Sadly I can tell you in my first market I was making NO WHERE near this salary. All my friends thought I was joking when I told them no to girls trips because I was making less than a McDonald’s worker 😂
The Five Guys on the Syracuse University campus is hiring, and they’re paying $17.85 per hour. That works out to $37K per year. Attention local TV station managers: If you are looking to hire our graduates, are you paying better than Five Guys?
HAPPENING NOW: people are gathered outside the state house, braving the rain, protesting the Ohio Senate’s possible veto override of HB68. If this happens this bill, banning gender affirming care for minors, would become law in 90 days.

@MatthewHerchik
👏🏻 I could not have said it better myself.
Remember local news journalists are humans. We do not have an agenda. We do it for the love of the craft and to help others. Think before you speak.
THIS— has been the result. HOURS of personal and professional attacks from people who don’t know me, who have never met me, have never watched a single story I’ve produced. Questioning my journalistic integrity and, again, quite literally attacking me.
Officials say the Adkins Avenue Fire has so spread 1000 acres. Prayers for all the first responders who will be battling the flames throughout the night .
