CLEVELAND, Ohio -- WEWS Channel 5 "Good Morning Cleveland" anchor Jackie
Fernandez and meteorologist Somara Theodore are no longer with the station.
"We don't discuss internal employee matters," news director Jeff Harris said
in a statement. "However, News 5 holds all of its journalists to the
highest ethical standards."
Harris would not speak directly to the reason why Fernandez and Theodore
were let go, but FTVLive, a TV news industry site, reported it was because
the two waited in line for tickets to Jay Z's upcoming Cleveland concert for
Hillary Clinton on company time last week and then posted about it on
social media.
"It is important to the reputation of our station and to Scripps, our parent
company, that our news coverage is fair and unbiased," Harris said. "Those
crucial qualities have been emphasized repeatedly during this contentious
election season.
"We remind our journalists frequently to avoid even the appearance of
support for any sides of this election. It is imperative that we maintain
objectivity in the work we do to serve our communities in NE Ohio."
Harris said the station is still figuring out staffing for the morning show
going forward.
Fernandez and Theodore both arrived in Cleveland last summer. They were
introduced as part of News 5's "fresh and hip news team" in splashy promos
