Jenny Young was a local TV news reporter for KOIN TV from 2019-2023.
In 2020, Jenny was covering a BLM rally and tweeted that there was an "openly anti-Zionist" speaker praising BDS, a pro-Palestinian movement. Jenny says that she received hateful tweets in response, and that she was admonished and "written up" by KOIN. On October 9, 2023, Jenny tweeted: "I no longer work for KOIN. I’m thankful that today I can publicly say, without fear of losing my job, that I stand with Israel."
In this episode, Jenny talks about Judaism; why she is moving away from Portland and out of the mainstream news business; and more.
