Primary Planning

So the NC primary is coming up. As I've said before, I am very excited about it. We are planning on doing a couple live cut-in with hits at the Obama and Clinton headquarters as well as the Alamance County BoE HQ. This will be more than we've ever done for a primary election, but of course this is an extremely exciting primary.

I will be the coordinator for this show, communicating with reporters. It is all very exciting.

I was about 15% of the news!

Today I did my story about Hillary. We were scrambling. We did not get the audio we needed to form a good story. That of course made me a bit upset. I did not think it would come through. But my friend and anchor, Randy Gyllenhaal urged me along. It was completely worth it. I managed to get it together very quickly.

I also did a political update about the upcoming statewide primaries. So by the end of b-block I managed to have done 3 minutes and 45 seconds of the show. That's pretty interesting. With this upcoming primary, we have seen a LOT of political interest. That quite plainly makes me smile.

Wake Up!

We all know that being a journalist is tough work. You have to get up early and stay late, finding stories (both interesting and mundane) all the time. But I love it! I'm getting out there and finding these stories again. I just can't believe I woke up an hour earlier than I needed to. Yea. I set my alarm clock incorrectly!

Anyway I will be going to Hillary Clinton soon. We'll get some video and photos up soon.

Two Clintons, One Week

As the 2008 North Carolina Primary approaches, we in the Tar Heel State are seeing a lot of the candidates. This past Wednesday, Bill Clinton visited Elon. We did a two hour cut-in (one hour of the speech and one of commentary hosted by yours truly). Tomorrow, Hillary Clinton will be in Graham. Mitch Pittman and I will be going out there to finds some good stories. I am really excited about this time. NC actually matters in the primary, and the candidates are noticing.

I know that since this blog is still new, I need to work on getting older stuff posted. This video is from when a "tornado" hit Elon. It was an exciting night.

60 sec to get around the world?

We are launching a new segment for this episode of Phoenix14News. It's a 60 second update about world news. It should be an interesting take on getting out international news. At first it was a pitched as a national news segment. I had a few issues with that one. It would cut back on our usual amount of stories. 

For the next few episodes, we'll have Kirsten Bennett anchoring that little segment. She will get some good experience and will help us form it for a more permanent setup. We have two episodes left this school year, so any issues she has will help fix it for next year.

Quick fast and up to date. It should help speed up our show.
