Broadcast journalism career
From 1992 until 1999, Hernandez was a reporter for WDAF-TV in Kansas City, Missouri.[3][4] Prior to that, he had been a reporter for KFDA-TV in Amarillo, Texas.[5]
From 1999 until January 2002, Hernandez worked as a general assignment reporter for WEWS-TV in Cleveland;[6] Hernandez then joined WBBM-TV in Chicago as a general assignment reporter. In April 2004, Hernandez left the station and spent four months backpacking through Mexico and Central America.[7][8] Once he was done traveling, Hernandez returned to Kansas City in late 2004 to work at KSHB-TV.[8]
Communications work
In August 2012, Hernandez left KSHB to take a marketing position with the Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City.[1]
Government service
In 2013, Hernandez resigned from the Unicorn Theatre to take a job working at City Hall in Kansas City, Missouri, as communications director.[9]
In August 2022, Hernandez was demoted from the top communications role at City Hall after Hernandez claimed that Kansas City's city manager, Brian Platt, suggested lying to the news media.[10] Hernandez, who remained a city employee as a special liaison in the city's Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity department,[11] sued the city in December 2022 in an employment discrimination lawsuit.[10] In January 2023, Kansas City's attorneys filed a response to the lawsuit, asking the judge to dismiss the case and noting in its motion that regardless of whether the city manager lied, there is no "law, rule or regulation" that prevents lying to the press.[12]
