KIRO Newsradio 97.3 reporter Kate Stone has announced she is departing the Bonneville Seattle news/talk station.
In a post to social media, Stone shared that she has departed the station, noting that while she enjoyed her time with the outlet “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,” she shared. “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.”
Kate Stone worked at KIRO Newsradio 97.3 for two years before departing. She had previously worked as a producer for both FOX 13 Seattle and KIRO-TV before joining the news/talk station.
