KWQC KWQC anchor Dustin Nolan gave an emotional on-air goodbye to his Quad City audience, announcing on Friday that he’s “chosen to step away from the new industry.” On his way out, he called out “sanitized news” and declared that it is the responsibility of journalists to “take people out of their bubbles and comfort zones and make them think about the world we all live in.”
“I have chosen to step away from the news industry,” Nolan said. “Before I say goodbye, I just want to say, I hope every one of you that’s allowed me to be a part of your mornings knows just how important that I have taken this job [and] how much it means to me that you’ve trusted me these past few years to bring you the news in the morning. I promise you, I’ve given you everything I have. I’ve never tried to be perfect, or what many think a newsman should be supposed to be, but I have always done my best to be transparent, bringing you the facts, and I’ve always been myself.”
