Lori Waldon, the assistant news director at Channels 13 and 31, is leaving to become the news director at WISN in Milwaukee.
Waldon (right), who has been in Sacramento just over a year, was instrumental in bringing together the 13 and 31 newsrooms. Longtime Channel 13 staffers say Waldon was considered to be the "good cop" to news director Steve Charlier's "bad cop" and that reporters often went to her with their concerns about the bevy of changes at the stations.
This will be Waldon's first news director position. Before coming to Sacramento, she was the managing editor at KPIX, the CBS station in San Francisco.
"This is a good opportunity for Lori," Charlier says. "We are very sad to see her go. She’s been a great newsroom leader through a lot of positive change."
