Longtime TV reporter and anchor Ron Mizutani will join public relations firm Communications Pacific as a senior vice president beginning June 1.

He will be primarily involved in what a CommPac statement called community-building work, collaborating with government and private sector clients on construction and development projects, for example. 

Mizutani has been at KHON-TV for nearly 28 years, first in sports, then moving to news. He took a short break from television to accept a position at Hawaiian Telcom, but returned to KHON months later.
