Lawrence, Herrera leave KSN for larger markets

KSN reporters Felicia Lawrence and Haden Herrera, fixtures as weekend anchors and weekday reporters over the past couple of years, are moving on to larger markets.

The announcements were made during KSN's 10 p.m. newscast.

Lawrence will be a weekend morning anchor in Charlotte, North Carolina, while Herrera will do weekend sports in Eugene, Oregon.

“I moved to Joplin, MO two years ago to pursue a dream. I didn’t know anyone, I’d never been here before, and I was extremely wet behind the ears as a journalist,” Lawrence wrote on her facebook page. “As I close out this LONG, emotional day, my heart overflows with gratitude. I’ve worked HARD AND I HAVE WON. I did it. I’m unapologetic about it and I will relish in this moment with complete joy and pleasure as I rejoice in my accomplishments. Tonight, I stand fully present in my moment of glory.”

Herrera wrote, “Tonight is the end of my time in the Four States. I’m headed to Eugene, Oregon where I’ll continue to be a weekend sports anchor. Thanks to everyone for watching and coming to up me at games to chat, I enjoyed it all!”
