Cal Callaway will be ,in my faded news memory, the best desk person I ever had the chance of working with. In a breaking news situation, I just had to hear his voice on the other end of the IFB to know things were going to get done.
In a news world where decision making … let alone making the RIGHT decision … is almost non existant on a manager level, Cal was right on 100 percent.
ADDITION. The memory refreshes.. my details from above are about the man I worked with in 1998. Things in the WXIA newsroom, good and bad, were alot different when I quit in 2006.
You are part of the problem with 11Alive, You as many arent capable of simple spelling task, You used the word “alot” There is no such word.
Cal is the best…comes from good stock, too. (UGA)
I am confident that it would be hard for a news director to do his job with both hands tied behind your back.
