One Woman Band

Three days out of my work week I act as a one-man-band reporter. Which means, I go out all by myself with my huge camera and shoot, write, report and edit my entire story. It's a lot of work but I love getting to see how much goes into getting a story on air. And of course, what I learn from using the camera and Final Cut Pro (video editing program for Mac) I can use forever.

A Suffolk Family Narrowly Escapes Fire Engulfed Home

There's been quite a few house fires this summer in Hampton Roads. Not sure if the extreme heat has anything to do with it or what..? This family will need a new home and everything else that goes in it very soon.  Can you take action?

Newport News Man Shot and Killed While Trying to Rob Gunman

Newport News Police are looking for the man who shot and killed Frank Griffin IV but not to charge him with murder. Police believe the gunman shot Griffin in self defense when Griffin was trying to rob him. But police need the shooter to come forward and tell them that, that is in fact, what happened early Thursday morning.

Happy Birthday to the U.S. Coast Guard

The U.S. Coast Guard turned 220 today and what better city to celebrate that in than Portsmouth, VA. You may not know, but Portsmouth is one of only nine other cities in the U.S. that is considered an "Official Coast Guard City". Today's date marks the first annual 'Coast Guard Day' in the city. It is a true honor to get to cover so many stories that involve the service men and women of the United States.


 

NewsChannel Three Takes Action and Gets Results

...For the Virginia Beach Health Clinic who's air conditioning unit was stolen last week. The clinic is run completely by volunteers in the area. When we aired this story, a man from A.C. Plumbing Inc. in Norfolk wanted to help by donating an A/C unit and even installing it for them. See? The media isn't all that bad...

A Day at the Beach

This photo makes me laugh after spending all evening this past Thursday trying to look and sound good on TV while standing in the middle of a crazy storm. I won't ever complain about it being too hot or sunny during a live shot again.

A New Direction

I will now start using this blog to its full potential. I will start by posting stories I do each week at NewsChannel 3 in Norfolk, VA. This first one is on storm cleanup in Norfolk after heavy rain and flooding hit the area Thursday evening.
