Times welcomes new reporter

We write a lot about the comings and goings of TV reporters int his blog, but it's time to throw in some newspaper folk in the mix.

The El Paso Times on Tuesday welcomed a new reporter, Adriana Gómez Licón. Adriana is a 2009 University of Texas at El Paso graduate and comes to the Times after having done internships at the Albuquerque Tribune, the El Paso Times and the Roanoke Times in Virginia.

A Sonora, Mexico, native, Adriana will be covering general assignment stories for the Times, which means she'll do a little bit of everything. She has some experience multi-tasking. Although Adriana is a print journalist, this summer she was selected as one of the three students to anchor the El Noticiero student broadcasting project during the National Association of Hispanic Journalists convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Welcome to the Times, Adriana.

Welcome! Why don't you report when new reporters are added if they AREN'T on KVIA or The Times?

I wish The Times had hired KVIA's Raul Martinez.... he's a dreamboat!

My God...she's a child. I didn't realize our city was so entry-level.

Nunya:

This is the first Times hire that I've written about on this blog. Also, I write about any new hire that comes my way. Channel 7 has been the only station to add reporters and anchors lately.

But if you go through the postings I've written, you could see that I have written about every single station in El Paso.
