Liliana Carranza Leaves
Telenoticias
Liliana Carranza, the beauty of
channel 7 news for 10 years, is
leaving the television station
to work for Deloitte
International, the tax, audit
and financial consulting firm,
as a marketing and public
relations assistant.
Carranza confirmed the departure
but denied that she is pregnant
and that she is leaving because
she was passed over for the
night news spot after Mishelle
Mitchell announced her departure
last week. Mitchell will be
working with president Oscar
Arias in public relations.
Carranza insisted that she is
leaving Telenoticias because she
was offered a position at the
prestigious Deloitte and besides
being a journalist, she has a
Masters in administration and
marketing from the Universidad
de Costa Rica. Carranza added
that she was offered the
position last year but turned it
down. This time, she said she
could not turn down their offer
when again it was made.
"It is not true that I am
pregnant. My mother would be
happy is I were", said Liliana
in dispelling rumours of her
pregnancy.
At 33 years of age, Liliana
feels it is a time for a career
change after spending 10 years
with Telenoticias. The
journalist said that she is well
paid at Telenoticias. Though
Deloitte is paying a little
more, Liliana said that she will
have the opportunity to learn
new things and is looking
forward to working with some of
the top people in the management
of corporations and finance.
Pressed that she is leaving for
being passed over for the
Mitchell position, Carranza was
adamant that that had nothing to
do with her decision. Carranza
emphasized that the she had
spoken to doņa Pilar and
Ignacio, Telenoticias' news
directors, about the move and
last September she was offered a
news spot.
"Along with doņa Pilar and
Ignacio, don René and doņa Paula
Picado (owners of channel 7)
have said the doors are open to
me at any time", said Carranza.
"I am not a star. I like to get
my hands dirty in my work. I
always gave my best efforts and
always counted on the best
relationship with doņa Pilar and
Ignacio. This hurts a lot, but I
know I have the doors open to
come back. I think it is a good
decision for me", said Liliana
Carranza in closing.
The only reason now to watch
Telenoticias is for the beauty
that is Wendy Cruz on at 5:55am.
