(Kate Stone on X.com) As many of you have probably ascertained, I am no longer at KIRO radio. I loved my time there, but circumstances change and it was time to move on.
I’m deciding next steps, and took some time away to collect myself and reassess my priorities. I still love telling stories, and want to continue to do so. What form that takes is still to be decided.
It may end up that I start giving a more pointed (read: opinionated) take on some news and issues than I was able to before. But I also cherish impartial reporting and fairness. It’s the backbone of what I’ve always done and strive to do. That’s why I have remained silent thus far. But I continue to read and listen to both sides of the issues critical to Washington. I remain committed and engaged, even if I don’t have the same platform to speak through.
I thank every one of you who engaged with me, whether it was positive or negative. You often made me consider issues differently than I would have without crucial context. In short, you made a better journalist. That’s a gift I can’t repay, but I hope to make you proud in the future.
Until then, keep asking questions. Keep holding those in power accountable. Keep seeking answers. But don’t be blinded by twisted words and propaganda. Search for the truth. It’s harder than ever to do, but it’s so essential in this moment in history. 💜
