Spokane mayoral candidate Nadine Woodward, a former TV journalist, won't interview with Inlander
Former TV journalist turned mayoral candidate Nadine Woodward wont do phone or in-person interviews with the alternative weekly newspaper the Inlander.
Woodward has canceled multiple interviews with the publication, according to Editor Jacob Fries. She told the Inlander in a phone call last Friday that she would only answer questions via email because she believed the reporter had an agenda and that the publication had covered some candidates in a biased way.
Woodward was rumored for a long time to be a political candidate before she retired from KXLY in February. Her 30-year television career also included working for KREM. Her work included government reporting and moderating the debate between congressional candidates Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Lisa Brown.
In a brief phone interview with The Spokesman-Review on Thursday afternoon, Woodward declined to comment on any of the specifics in an Inlander story about her refusal to do interviews, saying it was an issue between an individual publication and her.
