Ronald J. Ebben Gets The Scoop From Two Democrat Reporters On The FBI’s Tallahassee Investigation

Florida Memory

Each week seems to bring a new wrinkle in the FBI investigation into the city of Tallahassee and the Tallahassee Democrat has been on top of the story. WFSU's Ronald J Ebben recently  talked to Tallahassee Democrat reporters Jeff Burlew and Jeff Schweers about the paper's coverage of the investigation.

First Schweers followed by Burlew:

Ronald J. Ebben has 50 years of experience in broadcast news. Ron’s first assignment was covering the Kennedy-Nixon 1960 election in Peoria, Ill. His first News Director position was in 1963 at a Fort Worth, Texas, radio station. He carried Kennedy speech in downtown Fort Worth before JFK was assassinated later that morning in Dallas. And he was in the newsroom to see those fateful words come over United Press International wire: the “president had been shot.” Ron served as News Director for Tampa Bay stations from 1968 to 1990 and hosted the “Live with the Governor” statewide call-in show with Gov. Bob Martinez. In 1990, he became News Director of a statewide network with 26 affiliates. From 1991 to 2000 Ron was News Director at WTNT and Program Director for WNLS. Since 2000 Ron has served as :Morning Edition: host for WFSU News.
