Kristin Carlson to cover WCAX Statehouse beat through legislative session

Veteran statehouse reporter Kristin Carlson will cover the Statehouse beat through the 2011 legislative session, she told vermontpressconnections yesterday.

WCAX had moved Carlson from the Statehouse to the 5:30 pm newscast, and installed Bianca Slota in the Statehouse. However, Slota was named press secretary for Gov. Peter Shumlin last month, leaving the post open. WCAX management opted for bringing Carlson back to the statehouse, rather than immediately hire and train a new reporter. Carlson will continue to work on the 5:30 broadcast, she said.

This new blog, vermontpressconnections, covers developments within the Vermont media industry, both local and statewide. It is published by longtime journalist and communications professional Guy Page.
