New Market, New Tasks

Phil Tenser — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 01:32:48 +0000

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.

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.

Covering 2 big stories this week

The news in Syracuse this week has been overwhelmed by two very big, late-breaking stories. First, on Monday, a fatal crash along Route 31. Then, Thursday, a shooting at an AT&T store in Rome. These two stories have consumed much of my time during the last four days, and so I wanted to save links to them here for posterity.

Into this posting I’ve embedded a 9WSYR.com Video Report that I arranged and edited using video content shot by a NewsChannel 9 team sent to cover of the shooting. It tells the story of the moments immediately following the shots through statements by two witnesses. It is a web-only video that scored hundreds of views within hours of being posted.

Due in large part to these two big stories, I’m also proud to say we’ve seen amazing amounts of traffic on 9WSYR.com recently.

Two people, mother and son, share with us three different views on text messaging. One likes it; one doesn’t, and then changes their mind. Watch this Gen Lap installment and try to figure out, who is lapping whom?
