Even though it's 28 degrees outside, spring must be here because we brought out the brooms and a dustpan!! During our Friday shift, the dot com table got a makeover!! Since keeping an eye on the web is also the desk person's job now, the desk area and the dot com merged together for a more practical set up. So right when Mallory and my shifts began, the computers were taken down and moved from its original place. Meanwhile, the renovation workers took apart the wall around the desk and extended across the room.
Since the computers were down, Mallory and I decided to whip out a camera and began filming the renovations! Earlier, Mal showed me an awesome "behind-the-scenes" of one of our reporters that she had put together!! I have to admit, it looks waaay cooler than my Souper Bowl extended interview! Unfortunately, technical issues kept us from transferring the video so it hasn't been uploaded yet.
Mal and I maneuvered our way through the crowded newsroom trying to get bits and pieces of the transformation. We also asked the producers and the reporters couple questions about the newsroom and their jobs at the station... That's when Mal and I had an epiphany!! Every Friday, we'll put together an "Our View"--a behind the scenes at the newsroom and what goes on during a typical day of a producer, reporter, anchor.... etc. If you have any suggestions for the segment, we'd love to hear them!
We also grabbed some great images for stories like potholes and house tax credits. But for the rest of our shift, we basically swept the floor and wiped off thick layers of dust from....pretty much everything. I tried updating the situation via Twitter. Our news director, Stacey Woelfel, hooked the computers back up toward the end of the shift so I began working on the reporters' stories.
To wrap things up, we'll work on those behind the scenes segment later this week...hopefully we can figure out a place to put it on the site.
