In case you missed the news late yesterday, KATV’s Kristin Fisher will be leaving the station for a job as a correspondent with WUSA in Washington, D.C. Ms. Fisher and KATV news director Randy Dixon made the announcement yesterday on the Daily Debrief.

Over the past few months Ms. Fisher became the subject of media attention herself when KATV launched on online venture called “Choose Your News.” Aimed at a younger audience, it sought to capture interested online readers and viewers, and introduce new ways for KATV to interact with viewers and report the news.

It sparked several columns from Arkansas News Bureau writer John Brummett along with a fiesty response from the Arkansas blogosphere, notably from David Kinkade, Lance Turner and Jason Tolbert (yes, I wrote a bit about it, too.)

On Twitter Ms. Fisher says that “Choose Your News” will continue to exist and details are to follow. I hope so.

Congratulations Kristin.
