by Allan Lengel Andrea Isom: "It's not about me." Reporter Andrea Isom, a lively, distinctive personality in local news, has left WXYZ after four years. Isom, who previously worked for Fox 2 for 11 years, told Deadline Detroit on Sunday that she decided in June to pass on renewing her contract at Channel 7. She said she's sticking around Detroit and going on her own to tell "bigger stories" through video. An updated LinkedIn page describes her as a "digital storyteller, video production journalist and producer." "I will do that on whatever platform is available," she said. "Digital is where it is. Streaming is where it is, and if that's a network, it's a network. I'm open to seeing where the projects that I'm passionate about land and where they fit. Because it's about the stories, it's not about me."
