Reporter Fired For Wearing Obama T-Shirt While Covering Obama Rally
Posted on October 2, 2008

-By Warner Todd Huston

15 year Detroit radio reporter was fired for wearing an Obama T-Shirt while on the job covering an Obama rally. As a result of this major breach of ethics, WWJ Newsradio 950 showed reporter Karen Dinkins the door — that’s right, she was fired.

I must say that it is pretty amazing to see a media outlet uphold ethics like this, especially in Detroit. But there you have it.

According to the local Fox affiliate, the radio station issued a press release.

WWJ Newsradio 950 Believes that our credibility with our listeners rests on the independence of our newsroom staff.

WWJ does not favor any candidate, party or issue.

While we encourage employees to exercise their rights as citizens, we expect them to be on guard against any actual or perceived conflict of interest when covering news stories.

Georgeann Herbert
Director of Programming

The TV station quotes a professor to the effect that the reporter should more properly been suspended instead of fired and that she will probably go to the courts and end up getting her job back. And, more’s the shame there. If ethics mean anything at all there really should be consequences.

But, at least the station took a stand.

I wonder if it was warranted to fire her.

It seems to me like a warning would have been appropriate and possibly an unpaid suspension, but firing her for a single mistake? Not sure that was the right thing to do here especially if she was a good reporter.

I'm sure the Obambam will personally swoop in there and get that persons job back for them...After all they wearing the tee shirt of "THE ONE" :laugh2:

I thought a reporter was to report who, what, wher, when, how, and why. This gal went way over the line and her bias was clear

I want to remind you Fox News fired a reporter who stated on air to John McCain, she was going to vote for him

2008 is the year real journalism died. the bias of the medis towards Obama is sickening

She didn't do anything wrong. She was covering an Obama rally and wearing an Obama T-shirt. She should have been suspended and a statement should have been made on the air that the station did not promote Obama. If she had done her job well before this, then a suspension was warranted. Firing her was over the top.

That goes the same for the Fox News reporter you mention here, that I don't know anything about.

Every reporter has a favorite candidate. Every reporter has a bias. Simply because most reporters don't slip up and wear a T-shirt for their chosen candidate does not nullify that.

She made a mistake. Heck, if I were fired for my first mistake I would probably never have held a job for more than two or three hours.

And how do you know how every person there will vote? Perhaps undecided people came to get information to help them decide. Finally, TV stations regularly cover rallies.

Kudos to the station for doing the right thing. I am sick to death that fear of lawsuits has everyone afraid to take a stand.

great points...it is probably at will employment, so she can be let go....at will...further if it was contractual, i wonder if there is something in the K about those types of actions/behavior

This is a resume enhancement for her. She can easily get a show at MSNBC. Maybe a cohost slot with Chris Matthews or Keith Overbite

She will fit in fine given their journalistic ethics

What exactly do you disagree with, Immie? Do you think my reasoning is false? Which of my statements about the rally are wrong?

As for your second statement, a company's employees are a huge part of its image to the world. That is true tenfold if those employees are on the airwaves. So, you think any employee who breaks a company's rules should just be forgiven and allowed to carry on? You sure would make a fantastic union boss!

Btw, they can alway fire her, and forgive her trespasses in their hearts. :)

Just the harshness of the action. I agree she did wrong. What I don't agree with is that one mistake and your out the door kind of mentality. Like I said, if I were fired for my first mistake, I doubt I would have held any job for more than 3 or 4 hours.

Maybe it is that you speak a foreign language. :) English as compared to American. :D j/k but I think the article said she had been employed as a reporter for 15 years, not that she was 15 years old.

NBC is the worst offender. They have said the hell with it, and have become the Obama network

If Obama wins, I would not be surprised if Obam rewards the netowrk by manking either Matthews or Overbite his Press Sec

[Noir]

ah.....dammit, looking back on it, the first sentance is horridly written.

But even so, it's really harsh for a first time offence on the radio, I could only imagin what some reps would say if the lady was wearing a McCain t-shirt and was fired.

And as a note the preside t of the USA is not the most powerful ruler, not by a long long way, and the more I study American politics the weaker you realize he is. 90% of the power lies with committees, most specificly the house rules committee, not the pres.

A reporter is tell the audience who, what, where, when, and why

A reporter is not to slant the sotry or show their personal views. This has been tossed in the trash by todays liberal media

The station made the right call

how was she slanting the views by wearing the top while reporting through a radio station?

I understand why it was wrong, but at the end of the day it happened, I not saying what she did was right, I'm saying the punisent was too harsh, giving her a warning and saying to everyone else it was not acceptable would have been enough, unless she was specificly told not to I think it's an over reaction

Now you are starting to bring in condictions (sp?) and these are very gray areas, one could then say she should not have been sacked if she had only been in the job for 15 months, ergo it was not what she did that was so bad as to get her sacked, and that her age also had a factor

A 15 year veteran reporter KNOWS that an ethical reporter is supposed to show no bias in reporting....like a bank teller KNOWS she must keep her hands out of the till....
The boss can overlook any mistake in both these instances but is well within their rights not to.....if she was a new hire I might agree with you....

Any reporter regardless of time on the job should know you do not express your personal views while reporting a story - even though it is a common practice throughtout the media these days

This employer did the right thing.

In the old days it did apply...back when reporters had and valued their integrity and were proud of their ethics and fairness.....

Biased networks like MSNBC and the like are relatively new...a product of left-wing politics and anti-Conservatism....in my biased opinion....

Biased programs and reporters have always been around to one degree or another....biased entire newspapers and entire networks are kinda new.

Okay, that is a fair point. After 15 years, it seems she should know what the rules are. I can agree with that.

I still think it is a bit harsh.

It's too late, but I would like to have asked the other conservatives on this thread if they were the employer and their reporter wore a "McCain/Palin" T-shirt, would they have fired the reporter?

We don't know that this was her first offence. She may have been warned in the past. To assume so is not smart. The issue here, radio or not, is that she is the face of the station when she is out on assignment. If the station's ploicy is that they support no candidate or position, she is not doing so by blantantly wearing an Obama shirt. And I feel she was rightly dealt with. Like everyone else has said, if she was wearing a shirt supporting McCain, she would have been fired too (with more fanfare I assume).
