Local television and public radio feature in this week’s personnel update, with changes in Miami, New York and WFUV. Three different publishers provide the reporting and announcement record.

1. Elizabeth Roldán named vice president of news at Univision Miami

TelevisaUnivision announced on October 15 that Elizabeth “Liz” Roldán was appointed vice president of news for WLTV 23 N+ Univision Miami. The company says she will oversee newsroom operations, content strategy and editorial direction across platforms serving South Florida’s Hispanic community. The announcement describes a newsroom leadership appointment, with local and bilingual editorial context.

**Why it matters:** South Florida relevance and the audience served matter more than a broad national distribution list. Confirm the appropriate reporting team before routing a local or bilingual story.

2. Romyna Camacho joins the WNBC and WNJU duopoly

Media Moves reported on October 15 that Romyna Camacho joined NBCUniversal’s New York duopoly as a duopoly producer, supporting WNBC-4 and Telemundo’s WNJU-47. She moved after nearly six years at KUAN Telemundo 20 in San Diego, where her work included newscast production and streaming projects. Her new role concerns production across two stations rather than a single newly assigned reporting beat.

**Why it matters:** A producer’s responsibilities and the stations’ geographic audiences should guide any match. Confirm assignment routes rather than infer that a move creates a direct pitching preference.

3. Rich McLaughlin named permanent general manager of WFUV

Current reported on October 15 that Rich McLaughlin was named general manager of WFUV after serving as interim general manager since July. The report cites Fordham University’s announcement and describes his earlier programming work at WFUV, iHeartRadio and Amazon Music. The personnel change concerns station leadership; it does not assign him a general news reporting beat.

**Why it matters:** Music, programming and community relationships may provide context for research. Partnership and editorial outreach should use their respective channels rather than be combined automatically.
