Miami TV anchor flashes side boob in racy festival pics — after boss blasted ‘cringeworthy’ social media posts
WPLG Miami anchor Jacey Birch posted revealing photos from the Electric Daisy Carnival in Orlando, prompting complaints from colleagues about whether the station’s social media standards were being applied. The episode has renewed scrutiny of a newsroom directive warning journalists against influencer-style posts that could undermine their credibility.
FTVLive reported that at least 10 journalists sent it links to Birch’s posts, and a newsroom source said she had previously been warned about her online activity. Four television news directors told the site they would have considered disciplinary action, potentially including dismissal. WPLG’s earlier memo said staff represent the station on personal accounts as well as at work; its author, news chief Bill Pohovey, has previously said the guidance did not ban tasteful holiday photos.
In short
- Birch’s festival photos prompted complaints from colleagues.
- WPLG’s memo warned against influencer-style social posts.
- FTVLive reported she had previously been cautioned.
