TEGNA-owned Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA has hired Sonia Azad as its health reporter.
She replaces Janet St. James, who left the station in March. St. James later revealed she has breast cancer.
“I see it as a big responsibility and it is a big honor to follow her in this role,” Azad told mikemcguff.com who first reported the news. “This is a dream job.”
