(From News Journal.com -- By Aaron Bearden)
With camera crews scurrying around Friday and directors tying up loose ends, LAUREN JONES got another day closer to her CBS 19 anchor debut on Monday.
"Don't let the blonde hair and modeling credentials fool you, though," says CBS 19 President and General Manager PHIL HURLEY. "She can do the job."
In a move Hurley acknowledges will draw criticism, CBS19 has hired Jones in conjunction with the filming of an upcoming FOX reality TV show, ANCHOR WOMAN.
Jones, an actress, bikini model and former WWE wrestler, signed a 30-day contract with CBS 19 earlier this month.
She will begin anchoring Monday night's 5 pm newscast.
She has no journalism training or experience.
