FORMER REPORTER MAKES LEAP TO PUBLIC RELATIONS

It’s official, former reporter Kate Raddatz is now in the public relations world.

The Emmy Award-winning reporter, who spent nearly a decade at CBS affiliate WCCO in Minneapolis, is joining Park Street Public, twincities.com wrote.

As Newsblues reported last week, Raddatz hinted at a “new chapter” when posted around leaving WCCO that her “media friends will still hear from me in my new role,” she added.

At the St. Paul-based Park Street Public, Raddatz was named senior principal, public relations and communications.

Before landing at WCCO, Raddatz worked for WBAY in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She also has print journalism experience for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and The Minnesota Daily.
