Jacobson eager to share opinions on radio
WIND-AM, Morning drive gig will let her air her (mostly) conservative views
Chicago SunTimes excerpts
A. Radio has been an exciting
opportunity for me, and WIND has really
created a chance for me to talk about the things that matter to me...
A. I'm a Republican. On some issues, I'm more conservative than others. There are some issues where I might be considered a moderate. Listeners might be surprised to know that not all TV journalists are Democrats! The great thing about WIND is that they have never asked me to be something I'm not...
A. I had a great run at Channel 5. I was blessed to work with a talented group, the best in the business. I met a lot of wonderful people whom I still stay in contact with. I do not dwell on the departure. I recall fondly the accomplished career I had and the relationships I forged.

Excerpt from article originally posted: February 17, 2009 /ChicagoTribune.com By Eric Zorn
A Cook County judge today handed down a ruling allowing former
NBC-5 reporter Amy Jacobson's lawsuit against CBS Broadcasting Inc. to
go forward. Jacobson is suing CBS over the way its Chicago
station, CBS-2, reported and commented upon the famous incident of
July, 2007, in which Jacobson was videotaped in her bathing suit at the
home of Craig Stebic, a Plainfield man whose wife had mysteriously
disappeared. Jacobson was subsequently fired by NBC-5 (Chicago Magazine has all the background you could want here). She is also suing Stebic's neighbor from whose home the videotape was shot. In her ruling
(.pdf), Associate Cook County Judge Elizabeth Budzinski allowed four of
the eight counts in Jacobson's defamation suit to go forward. In part,
Budzinski wrote:
The
CBS newscaster presented the footage with statement made in the form
of insinuations and questions regarding Jacobson activities while at
the Stebic home… these statements … suggest that Jacobson used improper
methods in cultivating sources and obtaining stories. The statements
were made in a specific factual context … and had a precise and readily
understood meaning – that Jacobson was engaging in improper conduct.
The
statements made by the CBS reporters during the broadcast regarding
Jacobson are capable of being proven true or false. Thus these
statements are actionable. ..
The broadcast suggested that Jacobson used improper methods such as adultery in cultivating sources and obtaining stories…
[Statements
made on Ch. 2] could be found by a jury to be offensive to a reasonable
person where they imputed that J lacked the ability and integrity to
discharge the duties of her employment as a reporter. And that she used
improper and seductive means to get her stories. [ MORE ]
