KSDK leading the way to healing
BY TRIPP FROHLICHSTEI// If there is some good that can be found out of all the bad related to Ferguson, part of it comes from Channel 5 (KSDK).
Apparently, it was the first local station to promote a healing effort in the community, well before the grand jury decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson for the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson.
The station launched its “STL Together” effort on August 25. Among other things, the station aired related stories, public service announcements (PSAs) and promoted the idea on social media.
It clearly garnered interest as the station received inquiries about the program from several national media outlets including NBC, ABC and CNN.
