As someone said previously, anchors and reporters are the public face of a television station. Youngstown is a medium market and therefore a stepping stone to larger markets. If she worked there for 10 years (first of all she can't be that great or she would have moved on to a larger market
) she has probably put in a great deal of community involvement time: fundraising, socializing, etc. These things are done to bolster her name, but also to bolster her station's ratings and likely part of her contract. She gets paid more as a result than others who are probably harder-working and consequently, she is expected to do these things. Soooo, going out and showing her boobs, well, everyone has agreed was not good community service
nor was it appropriate for someone who is compensated for making sure people associate a certain station with them. This is not the publicity a station signs up for when they have their anchors sign contracts. And BTW, CEO's and other high-profile professionals sign the same indemnity clauses so it's not exclusive to media environments.
Bottom line - fair's fair - can't have it both ways. Can't be the wholesome "friendly neighbor" face to the community and flash your boobs.
Same thing as wondering why, with all those piercings on your face, etc., despite your outstanding performance, Giant Corporation Blah Blah Blah won't promote you and won't ever move you from that cubicle in the back of the back of the room in the basement. May not be fair, may not reflect your abilities, but life ain't fair.
Gotta choose - do you sign the dotted line, allowing yourself to be judged for the want of money and respect, or do you want to flash your ugly boobs?
