KTVU Producer Fired Over Fake Pilot Names: ‘My Hard-Earned Reputation is Intack’
Posted in: Today's ChiliOne of the three producers fired over KTVU’s racist gaffe told The Wrap that his “hard-earned reputation is intack (sic).”
Investigative projects producer Roland DeWolk was fired, the San Francisco Chronicle confirmed Thursday, along with special projects producer Christina Gastelu and producer Brad Belstock. When asked about the firing by the Wrap, DeWolk emailed, “My hard-earned reputation is intack. There are lawyers, so eager as I am to anser all questions, I must refrain.”
Earlier this month, KTVU reported the names of the pilots on Asiana Flight 214 as “Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk” and “Bang Ding Ow.” The station reached out to the NTSB, and an intern at the agency confirmed the racist fake names as correct. The intern was fired last week, according to BuzzFeed.
