KREM2 Not Spared Corporate Layoffs

“The Bullitt sisters were handing out coffee and donuts to the photogs and reporters,” Rick Aguilar says of the company’s previous owners during a strike. Aguilar started in the station’s mailroom in 1975 while still a student at Spokane Falls Community College and went on to become one of KREM’s main photographers and senior editors. He was among those laid off last week. Also on the list were chief photographer and 33-year veteran Russ Cameron; another senior photographer, Larry Storey; and reporter Rochelle Ritchie. “It’s not that way anymore,” Aguilar continues. “It changed from a family business to a corporation. We were just one of many. We were just a number”/ Nicholas Deshais , Inlander. More here .
