Life After Getting Pushed Out of TV News

FTVLive told you about how Nexstar owned WHTM (Harrisburg) pushed longtime Anchor Flora Posteraro out into the street. 

Now, Posteraro is trying to figure out what's next? 

"I  had a difficult time trying to make sense of what happened and try to process it. It was very difficult," Posteraro told PennLive this week, less than two months after she abruptly announced on social media that she no longer worked for WHTM.

"I thought that I would retire doing the job that I loved doing. I've had to regroup. I'm looking for work. Looking for another job trying to figure out what's the next chapter in my professional life."

She gets questions about the discrimination case she filed against her former employer.

"I think that just about every woman out there has a story to tell. I think just about every woman has had something happen to them and they have a story to tell and I think they have been reluctant to speak up for a number of reasons," Posteraro said.

Finding a new job is a tall order for someone who has only ever wanted to be a news broadcaster. Posteraro said she knew as a child that she wanted to be a news broadcaster.

"That's all I ever wanted to do. I didn't have a plan B," she said.

This should be a lesson to everyone of you that works in TV news, you HAVE to have a plan B. Even a plan C and D might be a good idea. 

Just saying....
