Kansas City's media insiders knew about this one and TKC was asked to politely keep a lid on it for about a week . . . Consider this part of the TKC "What Ever Happened To . . ." Series.
To wit . . .
TKC WISHES THE BEST TO FORMER KANSAS CITY PITCH NEWSIE NADIA PFLAUM AND HER NEW REPORTING GIG IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL!!!
TKC was FIRST to note that Ms. Pflaum was leaving The Pitch to do some work as an investigator with The Innocence Project and now . . .
Nadia Pflaum will be working with Kansas City Journalism Legend Russ Ptacek in the investigative bureau @ WUSA Channel 9.
Over the course of her tenure in Kansas City she was one of the most provocative reporters in town and regularly penned captivating investigative pieces.
Her most significant story that rocked this town for years was a thoughtful consideration of stop snitchin culture's impact on Kansas City . . .
Speak No Evil by Nadia Pflaum
Also . . .
A profile of her friend who died in a controversial drug overdose case and sparked the arrest of a Kansas City rich dude was a thoughtful bit of writing . .
Too Young and Too Pretty by Nadia Pflaum
Now that she's gone, I think it's okay to note that she even wrote an anonynmous story for TKC after we patched things up following years of my sophomoric nickname accompanying several links to her work. Another TKC Confessional . . . I totally think she was flirting with me when she politely introduced herself at the old school Beaumont Club about 7 years ago . . . But then she quickly got a much better prospect of a boyfriend and my playful teasing started in full force. And so, it's nice to note that she'll be back doing a bit of journalism as the TV News model seems to be quickly replacing print.
Congrats to Nadia and good luck!!!
More in a bit . . .
You should have been nicer from day one. Idiot TKC.
ReplyDeleteNo great loss.
ReplyDeleteSold her soul to D.C. huh?
ReplyDeleteAnd now we know. Graduated to the big leagues.
ReplyDeleteGuess tweeting in D.C. pays better.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't even get a job with KC's savior Google Fiber?
ReplyDeleteNadia did the right thing to leave KC. She is one hell of a reporter and better than most around here.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't make up for all the names you called her over the years, TKC. Hating on your betters is a bad look.
ReplyDeleteBelieving in 'betters' is a sad commentary.
ReplyDeleteThe search for Mr. Goodbar
ReplyDeleteShe had my good pole
ReplyDeleteShut up Byron you freaking Obama lover
ReplyDeleteByron is clearly Tony..
ReplyDeleteSuckers ...
Wrong. Tony doesn't know a thing about chess and refuses to learn. That's a distinguishing characteristic that T couldn't fake even if I've tried and tried to get him to learn.
ReplyDeleteTony you do realize that Russ in all his DC glory is just busting foreign cabbies and doesn't set foot on the Hill?
ReplyDeleteScroll down to the list of supporters, & you will see the name Byron Funkhouser

ReplyDeleteNadia is a good writer. Buy KANSAS CITY NOIR, to which she contributed. Best of luck. I bet she will be great.

ReplyDeleteSince my children probably make more money than you, they probably pay more taxes than you. So, I will consider them as supporting me, & not you. Though, of course, I paid into Social Security when I was still working, as well, & I made good money.
Bryon is just proof how ones delusional mind can make it seem to them that what they do is right. Byron isn't Tony. Tony isn't this vile a person. Byron has to come here and whine while being a shit stain since I am sure he is banned from most other social posting places.
ReplyDeleteNadia Pflaum was a fucking hack down at the Pitch who did a half assed job of fact finding in many or her very slanted pieces. Gimme a freaking break Tony. So she goes to DC and chases clowns like Anthony Weiner around like that requires much of and investigator or journalist? Why don't you just admit you had the hots, for her, will miss her, wish you had scored and let it go at that.
ReplyDeleteSave your "TKC Exclusive" to real news... not to boring little tidbits like nobody people changing jobs.
ReplyDeleteYour big headlines over nothing just cause me to ignore your headlines. What would you do if you really DID land a big story? Is there a graphic beyond a mushroom cloud that would trump your usual over-hype?
Who's the gal in the stupid hat?
ReplyDeleteI'll remember Nadia for the kick butt stories she wrote about Aggie Fathouse and the dog parks.
