If you've ever seen the 10 Things video segment we do each morning in our video module, you may have noticed we're not as swift in front of the camera as we (reporters) are in black and white.
That's not to say my newsroom coworkers aren't awesome or that they can't handle what the industry tells them to do, because they take it all and handle it all very well.
But we're just not broadcast people!
We're as close to being broadcast journalists as we are to being doctors. We're just not the same.
We were rivals of the journalism department. Print vs. Broadcast.
Ok, this is turning into nerdspeak. The point is to tell you that this exercise proves that we're as open as open can be to the changes in our industry.
We're trying and sometimes the failures are funny. Our videographer, Eric White, has been secretly compiling our studio failures.
He let us see the uncensored version today. Hopefully when he bleeps out the colorful language, we can share that.
Not to offend, but our interim publisher says that sometimes we've just got to have fun.

I'd rather watch the bloopers than have someone read an AP article to me.
Talk about redundancy.
I Enjoy . . .
I enjoy watching the 10 Things You Need to Know videos every day, and I miss them when they are not there. It's not so much the headlines, as of course, we can all read those for ourselves, but it is the style and pinache with which some of you deliver these little nuggets. Thank you for doing them, and I do hope you have fun recording them as I have fun watching them.
and
So where are the bloopers already? I'm all excited!
If you saw some of my
If you saw some of my bloopers when I was a TV intern, you'd think it was an Adult Swim rerun with some of the language in it, ROFL! All it takes is practice to shape up your delivery. Just have fun and read it like you're telling it to your best friend. By all means, post that blooper reel when they get it edited.
