As more women are speaking out about sexual harassment and sexual assault in the workplace and beyond, women in the media industry — specifically, television news — are sharing their stories of how they’ve been harassed by viewers. It’s a pervasive problem, with women discussing how the men and women who watch them make inappropriate comments about their appearances, clothing, personalities, and more. Anchors and reporters say the comments are offensive, disgusting, and racist.
We’re joined by local reporters who share what they’ve experienced. Our guests:
- Norma Holland, anchor and reporter at 13WHAM
- Patrice Walsh, former reporter at 13WHAM
- Kaci Jones, reporter at WHEC
- Stacey Pensgen, chief meteorologist at WROC
