TV journalist turned hired-gun Duby McDowell “reports” about her client.

McDowell, who covered state politics for WFSB TV-Channel 3 for years before starting her own PR firm, portrays herself as an WFSB representative in a televised video she put together for one of the state’s most prominent law firms, Shipman & Goodwin.

The 30-minute video is called “New England Estates v. the Town of Branford.”

Most reporters who move on to new careers do so because of money. The pay is terrible. But when they do move on, they are honest about it.

If you're in PR, tell people you're in PR. It's extremely disingenuous to use your former title as a reporter or even analyst in a PR production. Ugh!

Duby! Turn away from the Dark Side!
