KVUE Newsroom Dedication to Carole Kneeland | Livestream
2For nine years, Carole Kneeland provided strong leadership to the KVUE newsroom, first as its News Director, then as its VP of News Operations.
A journalist visionary, Kneeland helped establish standards and practices that were ahead of their time. She established criteria for how crime is reported, mentored young journalists, and led with a servant heart. It’s with that spirit KVUE has dedicated their newsroom to Kneeland.
“Carole Kneeland created a legacy that we’re honored to celebrate. She challenged the status quo and raised the standards of ethical journalism not only at KVUE but across the Country. She has a lasting impact on our past, current and future journalists, and it’s an absolute honor to formally dedicate our newsroom to her,” said KVUE President & GM Byron Wilkinson.
Her news career was cut short as she battled breast cancer, passing away in 1998. However, her news legacy lives on through the Carole Kneeland Project for Responsible Journalism, which focuses on improving local news, one journalist at a time. KVUE News Director, Travis Sattiewhite, a Kneeland Fellow, understands the impact Kneeland has and continues to have on journalists all over the country.
“Carole Kneeland was a visionary leader. She advocated for the continued training of news teams to make them better journalists. Dedicating our newsroom to her is a constant reminder to every journalist that walks through the doors at KVUE of what we stand for,” said News Director Travis Sattiewhite.
Joan Barrett is a friend and former colleague of Kneeland who serves as primary trainer for the non-profit Carole Kneeland Project for Responsible Journalism. She says, “Building a strong newsroom culture is one of the main tenets of Carole’s leadership style. It is fitting that the newsroom she helped to build is now dedicated in her name.”
