Lu Parker changes job titles

KTLA reporter Lu Parker is shifting to "special feature correspondent," a move that she says will let her work on stories "that inspire and represent residents in Los Angeles." She also will pursue several upcoming TV projects and continue her animal advocacy work, Greg Braxton reports at the LAT's Show Tracker blog. So Channel 5 finds a way to keep her on the air and keep her activist identity.
