Is Tegna Cool with This? (Patreon)

This appears to be a conflict of interest in one of the biggest ways and I have to wonder, is Tegna just looking the other way?

At Tegna's KHOU (Houston), Trason Bragg works as a Reporter/Anchor at the station. According to his LinkedIn, he has held that job for 1 year and 7 months.

But, also according to his LinkedIn, Bragg has another job, which he has held for just over a year. He co-owns True Bragg Media &Marketing.

He runs the marketing company to Lea Wilson, who was KHOU’s digital director until the position was eliminated.

Of course, the question is how can you be a Journalist at KHOU and be running a marketing company as well? As a news boss, how can you trust that he isn't doing stories on/about his media company's clients?

And if you're a client of the marketing company , wouldn’t you get frustrated if your marketing guy wasn’t putting you on TV?

There was a time when no media company would allow this to happen. Now, it appears that KHOU and Tegna just look the other way.
