ImageStepping into the shoes of a well-loved and involved community figure such as Andrea Cambern is no easy task. As her presentation to Dublin A.M. Rotary indicates, however, new anchor Kristyn Hartman has the energy and the commitment to make a positive impact in Central Ohio and continue WBNS's solid commitment to service in Central Ohio.


















In this video (click here if you are viewing in email), Kristyn talks about getting her start in reporting, her move to Columbus, her hopes to be involved with the community, and the sense of energy and authenticity she has found in Central Ohio.


Here Kristyn talks about some of the projects and organizations she hopes to be involved with and the commitment she and her station have to the area.  She also answers a few questions about her work (click here if you are viewing in email).

 
Rotarians asked Kristyn many questions about her job but also indicated that they often get news from sources other than television and that WBNS would have to work to provide hard and politically unbiased news if they were to become regular viewers. Kristyn promised to take our feedback to the station while encouraging us to call on her if we know of a story—even a happy one!—that we thought worthy of coverage and to let her know if there were community projects she could help with.
