Kane + Mutiny!

As expected, another Fox 61 reporter is leaving the station after several months of staff upheaval.

Lindsey Kane, a University of Connecticut graduate, left the station on Friday after deciding against renewing her contract. On social media she posted that she is not sure what’s next,  but that she is committed to “professional storytelling.”

This is the third departure – under similar circumstances – from Fox 61 since the start of the year, but the cuts go deeper than the well known on-air staff. Up to a half dozen producers have either left on their own, or been fired, in the last two months according to well placed sources with insight into station operations.

Several sources say a sticking point in contract negotiations has been the station’s insistence that all reporters become “multi-media journalists.” In fact, several of the station’s recent on-air hires have all been introduced publicly as “multi-skilled journalists.”
