Dorothy "Dottie" Hayes Sater (March 12, 1931 – March 14, 2012) was a television reporter in Omaha, Nebraska.[1][2]
Career
editAs a journalism student at the Municipal University of Omaha, Dorothy joined the staff at WOW Radio and TV in 1952.[1] Although she was classified as a secretary, she worked as a reporter and photographer, and is considered by some to be the first full-time television reporter in Omaha.[1] For a portion of her time at WOW, she was the only woman reporter in Omaha.[3] She was a founding member of the Omaha Press Club and also its first woman president.[3][2]
She left WOW in 1959 over a pay dispute,[1] and then went to work for the Municipal University of Omaha General Printing and Information Office.[3] She changed jobs several times, and the final career from which she retired was public relations spokesperson for the Immanuel Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska.[1][4]
She died in 2012 and posthumously received the Omaha Press Club Foundation Career Achievement Award.[1]
