STACEY LARSON MURDERED TV
Plenty of TV news personalities have come and gone through Fargo's news stations over the past few decades. We wanted to go out there and be good journalists." "We really wanted to put together good stories. "The two years I was in Fargo were some of the best I had in the television business, because of the fact that we were all so young, and that we were all so idealistic," Sawkar says. The TV news business itself is different, and the women's careers have brought them to bigger and better things.īut when they look back on Fargo, and on their time as a 20-something journalist starting out in the industry, it's almost as if they're right back on the air at KVLY, WDAY or KXJB. Of course, in the years since TV news reporters and anchors like Sawkar, Deffenbaugh and Schaible were on the air in Fargo, much has changed. "I felt really fortunate to start my career there," she adds. "In your first job, you make mistakes, and it's nice to work with people who are understanding and are willing to teach you to help you get better." "I was working with people who taught me a lot," Sawkar says. Schaible points to Marv Bossart, her veteran co-anchor at the time, while Sawkar specifically refers to Mike Morken, still anchoring at KVLY, as journalism vets who helped provide that kind of guidance. "Wearing a lot of hats in a smaller market makes you more on your toes in a big market," says Schaible, who was an anchor in Duluth, Minn., before coming to Fargo.īut when the young journalists made a mistake or needed help, there were seasoned industry veterans who could be turned to for advice. Schaible now anchors the news in Tampa, Fla., and says the fact that she helped produce her own newscasts in Fargo helped make her a better anchor.
This is because new hires take on significant responsibility and may be expected to do more than at a larger market or larger station, says Stacie Schaible, a weekday evening anchor at WDAY from 1993-97. More than that, though, the size of Fargo as a news market - not small, but not large either - also helps make it an ideal place to start a journalism career. "Something about that Fargo community, when you're a newcomer, you feel welcome," she says. As with Deffenbaugh, Sawkar says the support of the community was one of the biggest things she took away from the two years she spent in Fargo.
