Leaving the Business

Another day, another TV newsie is leaving the business.

WJAR Investigative Reporter Parker Gavigan will become the communications director for the Providence City Council.

Gavigan has been at WJAR for the past 11 years, and was a Reporter across the street at WLNE prior to moving to WJAR.

His wife, Doreen Scanlon, is an anchor at WLNE.

“I’m thrilled and excited to begin this new chapter and to work with the elected leaders and talented staff of the Providence City Council,” said Gavigan. “My goal is to use my communications skills, highlight the day-to-day work of the Council, and bring that vital information directly to the constituents of the capital city.”
