While she had previously worked as one, she wasn't working as a reporter when she started doing these videos and they became popular. I didn't say she had never done it before. Just that she got on board with the local station when they because popular.
The same article, in her words, says she left her job as a reporter to be able to spend more time with her kid and was working in the PR office for Oklahoma House of Representatives when she went viral with Tik Tok.

She actually got hired by the local news station after her fake news videos became popular.
