County Community Television news director Crutchfield to retire

Curtis Crutchfield

Curtis Crutchfield, the news director of Prince George’s County Community Television, has announced his retirement. He said:

“I’m thinking that stress-wise it’s going to go down like a hundred percent. My method, rather, has been to prod, to encourage, to chastise. Sometimes I’ve been a little harsh. I want reporters who are fast with their work, aggressive, assertive and persistent. Do we do a good job, great job everyday? No. Do we make mistakes? Everyone makes mistakes, but you need the media.”

During his more than three-decade tenure, Crutchfield assigned his reporters and photographers to cover issues in Prince George’s County and the Maryland General Assembly.

His replacement has not been named yet.
