Dutch Terry
Patient, but not good with news judgement
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Dutch Terry will let you do what you want, but if you have fellow co-workers who complain, he will listen to them and lambast you. My advice is go in there if you want market 89 on your resume, but expect to feel like you're working in market 189. The news market is great, it has breaking news everyday, but this station does not cover it and does not have the resources. Dutch will let you cover almost anything you want, but expect to never be live in the field; you can go live in the studio and front your pkg almost every night. They do not have live trucks, they shoot all lives as MMN on iPhone, not even on backpacks; those are reserved for the photogs, who are turning pkgs, too. Dave, the chief photog, he knows his stuff, but he's turning a pkg a day, himself, so he doesn't always have time to work with you. Ashley Henderson is a photog there. He is political, he is a republican and homophobic, but he will not treat you bad just because you're gay, though he will talk about transgender people as being "sick" and molesters. He's a good guy, though, and you can always call him for help. Overall, if you can stick out the bad pay with no overtime (you will work OT but not be paid), then go! It looks good on a resume, but you will leave drained everyday.

Dutch Terry
Dutch is a character. He is extremely petty towards females. If your a male you will do fine working under him. It is noticeable the sexism and toxicity he excudes under his management. He is very passive aggressive and doesn’t know how to manage. If you want to learn from a news director or want criticism don’t go to him. Honestly he is not a good manager but does provide opportunities you don’t get elsewhere. Idc your brand new in the business and can handle the drama then by all means go ahead.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Explained above.
Don’t come here if you looking for decent pay in a top 100 market. Only come for the experience and get what you need and leave.
