Nadine’s work ethic

Sun., June 16, 2019

Nadine Woodward was my broadcast partner and co-anchor at KREM-TV for 17 years. She not only understands fair and balanced journalism, she practiced it her entire career.

Recent accusations of her being just a “teleprompter reader” are simply misinformed, false, dishonest and even sexist. Behind the scenes, Nadine worked diligently to get the news correct from the formulation of stories to their broadcast. And viewers approved, giving our 5 p.m. newscast a No. 1 ranking for most of the entire 17 years.

Those same qualities will make Nadine our next fair and balanced mayor!
