Thanks to Robert Feder for his mention of my Dana Kozlov piece in the Illinois Entertainer...
Dana Kozlov, recently promoted to weekend news anchor at CBS-owned WBBM-Channel 2, rates the profile treatment from Rick Kaempfer in the April issue of Illinois Entertainer. (Here is the link.) Kozlov, who grew up in Palatine and graduated from Fremd High School and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, cites CBS 2 legends Bill Kurtis, Walter Jacobson and Pam Zekman with sparking her interest in news. And she credits Dina Bair, midday news anchor at Nexstar Media WGN-Channel 9, with helping her land her first Chicago reporting job at WGN in 1995. The two had worked at competing stations in Peoria. “I was determined to work my butt off and make it, and I did,” Kozlov told Kaempfer.
