Broadcast Journalist of the Year Files Federal Complaint Against Dallas Fox Station Dallas employment attorney for Rebecca Aguilar says the twenty-six year news veteran was fired by Fox station KDFW-TV in March 2008 in a calculated move. Attorney Steve Kardell says his investigation has revealed that Aguilar did nothing wrong in October 2007 when KDFW management suspended her over an alleged controversial interview. The suspension came just two weeks after Aguilar was awarded Broadcast Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. Wednesday morning, Rebecca Aguilar filed a Charge of Discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, better known as the “EEOC.” Kardell adds that Aguilar conducted more than 6,000 interviews in fourteen years at the owned and operated Fox station, but news management retaliated against her for advocating change inside the newsroom. "I'm confident the EEOC will uncover what our investigation has unveiled. Fox 4 wanted my client to advocate change in the community through her reports, but to keep silent in improving working conditions in the newsroom," says Kardell.
