WCBE posted announcements about the position on the station web site, the Columbus Public Schools employment web site, and on the employment bulletin board at 270 East State Street in Columbus (in the Human Resources Department offices). The station also mailed out announcements to groups and organizations who have requested information on job openings including: The Ohio State University, Otterbein College, The Columbus Urban League, The Columbus Chapter of the NAACP, The Columbus Association of Black Journalists, and WCSU (Central State University).

196 applications were filed for the position. Six candidates were selected for interviews, however only five appeared: 3 males (1 white, 2 black), and 2 females (both white). The candidate chosen was one of the females.

EEO Activities & Initiatives
