Television stations’ news directors are most likely to be in their mid-40s and have been at their stations for an average of 5.7 years, Hofstra University professor emeritus Bob Papper reports. They’re also likely to be named Mike, Jim or David if they’re men or Jennifer, Kelly or Julie if they’re women, Papper writes, adding, “Apparently I have too much time on my hands.”
Papper is rolling out results from his 20th annual survey of the broadcast news biz for RTDNA.
