Our Commitment
After nearly two decades of producing, anchoring, coaching, and mentoring, I now want to focus the second half of my career in investing in others, by "passing the torch!"
Working in the television news industry has not only been rewarding, it's been life-altering. Journalists, like teachers, know we are in a profession where we are not going to make a lot of money, but we do it anyway. Today, my greatest reward is seeing qualified minority candidates achieve what seemed to be “unachievable.”
Though small, I take pride in the fact that my team, and I are making a dynamic impact within the news industry. The enhanced careers of our clients, up to this point, are evident that we are still am relevant in this ever-evolving industry.
The “ Walton Difference” is my personal daily commitment to stay true to my brand, which is, accessibility. My team and I confidently express the slogan to our clients and viewers that we are “always on…always connected!”
Unlike many other larger companies, our clients are seen more as family than “customers” per se. Hence, they have 24/7 access to me, and my team.
As principal consultant, I am determined to ensuring that the integrity of news will be protected. I envision a new generation of journalists who hold true to a strict code of ethics in which accuracy is never compromised and local communities receive the news that matters most to their daily lives.
Obviously, without the proper mentorship, grooming, and coaching provided by Walton and Associates, the "next generation" of journalists will be without the solid foundation needed to survive a more volatile industry. Networks are dealing with tighter budgets, in which now journalists are asked to do more with less. Put simply, today’s journalist must be well rounded and willing to juggle many tasks while meeting deadlines.
This competitive, highly stressful, environment is no place for immature, ill prepared, undisciplined rookies. Thus, without an experienced coach along their side, they will become another statistic. More gravely, our communities are left uninformed and unrepresented.
Walton and Associates is a premier search firm committed to attracting some of the most dedicated, fresh new faces in the industry. “We know news talent and our news talent know us.”
They’re sold on our commitment to building a long, lasting relationship with our clients and the broadcast groups they serve.
