ELEVATION

Here's a comment from a reader who does not wish to be named.

"It is disappointing to see what appears to be a less-experienced sports reporter elevated to the position of sports presenter for a major newscast, such as the 7p.m. news, when you know that there are better and more accomplished candidates who seem unable to secure such a position.
It is applaudable that younger, if not more lively applicants, are being presented with such opportunities, but it makes you question whether the profession and those who manage over it promote effectively and fairly.
It also makes you question whether the opportunity to deepen/broaden one’s professional interests and skills was limited to a selected few."
