New Market, New Tasks

Moving to a new job and a new market has been complete with an enormous number of new tasks. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t made an update to this site in far too long.

Today, in addition to news writing and manager’s meetings, I was asked to make my first on-screen appearance in a segment about the new changes to Facebook. Below is the version of that segment from our early evening show.

Produced another successful show

I had the opportunity to produce another full show on Thursday of this week. I’m proud of how it turned out, but unfortunately the top story is quite sad.

I’m producing shows now too

For the past few months I’ve been adding an increasing number of television producing tasks to my repertoire. This sample NewsChannel 9 @ 10PM broadcast is one of the first professional shows I produced from soup to nuts.

A torrent of news

April 26th was a very exciting day at work. Central New York was hit by some very strong and very sudden thunderstorms, complete with flood waters and damaging hail. The newsroom became a bustle of activity, even long after the downpour had ended.

In the Web Unit, we crushed our previous record number of visits by nearly 1/3rd. (It was the fourth time we’ve broken that record in four months) We also added a few hundred Facebook fans as hundreds of people shared photos and videos of the storm and damage.

With my peers, I worked to collect and curate that user generated content. Then, when things slowed down, I wrote and produced this segment for the 11PM news using the UGC submissions.

On-Call: Hydroplane VO

Last weekend I served as an on-call photographer and was called in during a heavy rain storm. One of the jobs I did during that call was to shoot an accident caused by hydroplaning, which later lead the 11PM newscast as a VO. That video is below.
