PORTLAND, OR- After a nationwide search, KGW NewsChannel 8
announces the promotion of Rick Jacobs to the role of
executive news director. Jacobs has been the assistant news
director at KGW NewsChannel 8 for eleven
years.
Jacobs has deep experience covering the issues of
importance to Oregonians. He has spent his entire
television news career of over twenty-five years in the
state. He launched his journalism career in Medford, then
moved to the larger market of Eugene, and finally to the
state's largest city of Portland. Each move entailed
increasing roles of responsibility in newsroom
management.
"For over a decade, Rick has been a key part of our success
in a fast changing and competitive industry. Every breaking
news story and every award we've received carries Rick's
leadership and journalistic sensibility," said DJ Wilson,
president and general manager of the KGW Media Group.
"It was clear that the best person to lead our newsroom
through the multiplatform and on demand environment of
contemporary news was already on our team. I'm thrilled to
make this well-deserved promotion official."
