News: Romona Honored with Diversity Award

From the Director's Cut Blog on Thursday, 11/6/08

Congratulations to WKYC 6, 7 & 11 PM anchor Romona Robinson who was honored Thursday with the Diversity in Media Distinguished Leadership Award.

The ceremony was held at Kent State University in front of a large gathering of her peers and co-workers.

Kent State selected Romona for the honor this year because she represents the highest standard of excellence in broadcast journalism, community service and diversity.

In an interview for the Director's Cut Blog, Romona explains, "I'm both honored and humbled by this recognition. I want to thank Kent State University and commend them on their Diversity program."

"I've worked tirelessly in Northeast Ohio, trying to serve as an example to youngsters that through hard work your dreams are possible," she added.

Our congratulations!

Congratulations, Ramona!

On another note, loved seeing you on the red carpet tonight with Will Smith. I have written before about sadness about losing Tim White, but what do you think about Will Smith as Co-Anchor?? huh?! I think it deserves merit by the head honchos at WKYC. You definitely had chemistry there. Your husband might want to stay close by, but that would really be something!
Of course a hefty raise would be in the deal for you too!

Its gonna be sad to see Tim go...but Will Smith as my co-anchor.
I'd never get any work done!
He is so engaging and looks right into your eyes, but with a great spirit about him.
Yes, he would be a problem everyday...Ha Ha!
