Earlier this summer, some of our incredible News 6 Brand Ambassadors came together for a fun-filled day of creativity and connection! We put our own spin on our logo, got to know each other better, and even flexed our artistic muscles. It was amazing to see how passionate and talented our team is! #BrandAmbassadors #TeamBuilding #Create #News6 #GettingResults David Baer, Tiffany Browne, Marquis Dickens, Brianna Ellis, Ginger Gadsden, Kara Moeller, Kyle Reese, Joel Ross, Christopher Snyder

As local broadcasters we have so many ways to reach our audience, we have often begun to ask ourselves, “Does this warrant breaking into broadcast?” This Saturday evening, there was no question for WKMG News 6 ! Our local Lake Mary Little League team took the US Championship at the Little League World Series! Every second of this breaking coverage allowed for the power of a moment and the power of community— letting the audience soak it all in. CHECK OUT THE COVERAGE IN THE LINK ⬇️ Very proud of our team tonight! Let’s do it again tomorrow! #breaking #community #localjournalism #localnews

“Before my first investigation went on TV, I called him to ensure I did everything right,” said Treasure Roberts. Bonds are formed when new and seasoned teammates pair up in WKMG Connections, our newsroom mentorship program. “[Louis Bolden] became a mentor and friend… I am interested in investigative reporting and who better to help me than one of the best investigators in our news market! Louis made sure I checked all the boxes and that made me feel more confident when the story aired.” We foster a supportive environment where new members quickly become valued colleagues and friends. These relationships are based on mutual trust and commitment. “Even when he was off work, he made time to answer my call or respond to my texts. His guidance is invaluable.” #Mentorship #EmployeeDevelopment #Connections #Trust #Commitment #News6 #GettingResults

WKMG Connections brought Ezzy Castro and Katrina Scales together and they have continued to be friends since. Ezzy: I loved being a mentor to Katrina. We were introduced to each other a few years ago and we hit it off! Katrina and I would meet up for lunch once a month to catch up and talk about our goals. She took me to one of her favorite sandwich spots in Winter Park and I took her to eat some yummy Cuban food at Black Bean Deli. What I enjoyed about this program is that it also led to friendship and understanding. I learned a lot from Katrina too! Not only did she create 'Your Florida Daily' but I loved watching Katrina grow in this newsroom. I'm proud to call her my coworker and friend! Katrina: WKMG Connections helped me gain confidence in my early days at the TV station. By pairing me with Ezzy — a lovely outgoing colleague who got me absolutely hooked on morning show cafecito — I was able to comfortably ask questions about the newsroom’s history and workplace culture. This friendship makes me a better news producer and makes work more fulfilling! #Mentorship #EmployeeDevelopment #Connections #Friendship
