KARK reporters Pete Thompson, Courtney Collins, Jake Hatley and news photographer Chris Jameson were fired Thursday after ArkansasBusiness.com first reported on the videos. In addition, up to five off-air employees were suspended for three days. The video shorts spoof broadcast news as well as life in central Arkansas. They include scenes filmed inside KARK's newsroom and at its anchor desk, and what appears to be B-roll footage from Malvern's Brickfest and the "Twilight: Eclipse" premiere at the Rave Colonel Glenn 18 in west Little Rock.
