Michael Pearson Leaves KSDK Amid Legal Fallout | St. Louis News

Michael Pearson, veteran KSDK reporter with 15 years under his belt, is reportedly leaving the station amid a brewing legal showdown. KSDK claims he violated his contract by leaking info to a rival outlet and is seeking damages — but Pearson says he’s moving on to pursue writing and freelance work. He’s even got the same lawyer who handled Michelle Li’s contract dispute last year — and that attorney also represents the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This messy exit could reshape Pearson’s career — and the legal landscape of local news. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
