Experienced veterans should be valued in D-FW's television newsrooms, but quality newcomers also are part of any station's equation.
These recent hires are standing out, at least from this perspective.
Adrian Arambulo joined Fox4 last June and mostly has been a street reporter on the station's No. 1-rated Good Day. The Chicago native arrived from KLAS-TV in Las Vegas.
Ellen Goldberg of NBC5 has been a featured reporter on the station's 10 p.m. weekday newscasts since March, 2007. Originally from Mobile, Ala., she joined D-FW's Peacock from KOAT-TV in Albuquerque, N.M.
Cynthia Izaguirre began co-anchoring WFAA8's Daybreak on Jan. 4th with lame duck colleague Justin Farmer, who will leave for Atlanta this summer. She also arrived from Albuquerque's KOAT-TV and is a native of Brooklyn who was raised in Dallas.
Nerissa Knight has been a weekend anchor and general assignment reporter at CBS11 since last September. Born in Dallas, she returned to North Texas from KBTV-TV in Beaumont and was 2007's reigning Mrs. Southeast Texas as part of the Mrs. Texas America pageant.
All four look like solid additions to their stations, but who has the brightest future? We're awaiting your comments on:
A. Adrian Arambulo
B. Ellen Goldberg
C. Cynthia Izaguirre
D. Nerissa Knight
