While other news organizations are trimming the headcount they have in Washington, D.C., Spectrum News, with 30-plus news networks around the country, is loading up in the nation’s capital. A few years ago, it was a lone MMJ in Washington, according to Sam Singal, group VP of editorial, Spectrum News. These days the bureau has 30 staffers, including 13 reporters.
“In general, I think you’re seeing contracting in the media industry as a whole,” said Singal. “We’ve not had that — our Washington operation is quite the opposite.”
