Telemundo Reassigns L.A. Mayor's Girlfriend
Reporters Duke Helfand and Meg James called the move "a notable fall for a one-time rising star":
On Monday, Telemundo spokesman Alfredo Richard said that the network
and KVEA, one of its top stations, had learned a valuable lesson.
Reassigning Salinas to Riverside, he said, was meant to correct the
ethics lapse and keep Salinas from reporting on Villaraigosa. Another
official said station executives also were concerned about shielding
Salinas from lingering animosity toward her in the newsrooms of KVEA
and its sister station, KNBC-TV Channel 4, which share the same Burbank
facility. Both stations are owned by NBC Universal.
