It’s Bluegrass Festival time here in Stratford, Iowa.
I decided to shoot this package on my own to cover this little-known event. I ended getting up way too much footage, so hopefully I’ll be turning that into a good package Monday or Tuesday of next week. (more…)

Today was Geoff Greenwood’s last day. We started off with a goodbye celebration in the newsroom. Words were read and cake was eaten. It seems like Geoff has had a great career at KCCI – starting out in production, then becoming a photog, then photog/reporter, then full-fledged investigative reporter.

Around 7pm (while I was in an editing bay), a wood shavings plant caught fire. We sent a live crew out for the 10pm. I didn’t go, though. (more…)

I was photography today, but I did more in-house stuff.
KCCI News Director Dave Busiek and Kevin Cooney looked at the stories Addison and I had edited the night before. It’s amazing how much is learned from listening to Dave for five minutes (he’s been a news director for a long time). (more…)

Thursday was Internet day. I hung out with Tad, the Internet specialist (he has an official name which escapes me right now). Tad spends all day at the systems updating the web with stories. (more…)

If you’re a college student, you’ve been there – an internship interview. I had one a couple months ago over the phone with CBS News. I had applied to their internship program in NYC a few days prior to receiving a phone call from their intern coordinator. (more…)
