Newsroom Expansion with Four New Hires

While other stations and media companies are cutting staff and asking employees to do more with less, WRAL (Raleigh) is adding staff.

The station just hired four on-air talent.

WRAL is bolstering its reporting ranks with the addition of four new journalists: Bryant Maddrick, Avery Davis, Lance Wilhelm, and Justin Lundy.

The station stated that the new hires are part of an ongoing effort to increase reporter presence across the Triangle, expand enterprise reporting, and strengthen breaking news coverage.

“We’re excited to welcome Bryant, Avery, Lance and Justin to WRAL and continue adding talented journalists to an already strong newsroom,” said News Director Mike Friedrich. “Investing in reporters means investing in our ability to be present in more communities, ask more questions and deliver the kind of distinctive local journalism our viewers count on every day.”
