Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome announced today that WBRZ-TV reporter Mark Armstrong is stepping into a new role as her chief communications officer.

"Mark brings many talents and great experience to this critical role, including his knowledge of local media, and I’m excited about him joining our team," Broome said in her announcement Monday. "Communicating with our citizens through various media channels about the many achievements, partnerships and activities taking place in our City-Parish ensures we exhibit transparency and honor our dedication to preserving the trust of our community."

Armstrong, a University of Southern Mississippi graduate, will oversee the mayor's communications strategy as well as those for the various city-parish departments.

Armstrong recently worked as a multi-media reporter for WBRZ-TV and previously worked at WXXV-TV in Gulfport, Miss. as a production assistant, assignment editor and reporter. He'll earn $71,890 a year.

Of all the things to get mad at Broome about, this is one of them?

Maybe Broome got confused when she heard he went to Southern.

People in MS call it “Southern”. Not anyone from Louisiana.

my first thought reading this story was she'll have a liaison in WBRZ's office to keep Nak off her arse.

I have no comment on his qualifications,just that I always thought he was trying too hard to look like Clark Kent.

Dude, it shows that she's scared of real investigative journalism and that's why she needs a mole in WBRZ to stay one step ahead of them.

She can hire all the white faces she wants to sell her re-election bid, but we aren’t buying it.

I think she was elected during a perfect storm of circumstances in her favor. One of those being that a lot of voters thought she was Kip Holden 2.0.

Pretty clear to us all, she is no Kip Holden.

have you ever seen this nerd? Guess she figures by putting a nerdy, lily white douche in front of the cameras, the white St. George folk will like her better.

There was no superstorm.

It was just Bodi White running a shitty campaign that completely mailed it in.

He should've hammered it home that he was Baton Rouge's best defense against St. George as it was going to happen under Broome.

I can't remember him putting much effort in that message.
