Rick Jacobs in Portland, Noah Cooper in Spokane and Doug Weider in Norfolk are the last of the Belo NDs to survive one way or the other since Tegna took over. 

If you're a News Director and you are offered a job at a Tegna station, here's some advice, rent, don't buy.

If you're a news staffer and you get hired by a Tegna News DIrector, it's a good bet that the person that hired you will be gone during your time at the station. 

Just saying...
