Mary Ann Childers joins strategic communications firm
Long-time Chicago anchor and reporter Mary Ann Childers, who was among those cut last spring in a cost-cutting sweep of CBS-owned WBBM-Ch. 2, has joined the Res Publica Group, a Chicago-based strategic communications firm.
Childers will advise clients on new media resources, including broadcast and web-based communication vehicles, drawing on her vast experience to help with strategy, media training, marketing, branding, reputation management and crisis counsel.
Before Childers' 1994 arrival at WBBM -- where husband Jay Levine continues as chief correspondent -- she spent 14 years at ABC-owned WLS-Ch. 7.
