This week we had an interesting situation at the dot com station, we could either do a daily slideshow as we always do or invest our time with one story to tell a story through a slideshow. Brandon Lewis had gotten great video from a brush fire at a Christmas tree farm, so we made this slideshow. It was a good discussion, because although we could have done decent jobs making both, we tried to truly tell a story through the pictures.
As always, we made the story skeletons for our reporters. I've realized the two big days I work, Tuesday and Thursday, the reporter aren't thinking for the web enough. I'm really going to try and push the reporters when I'm working dot com and producing to take pride in the web angle. I knew this the whole time I've been here, but I'm finally doing something about it.....News Directors want to see your web abilities. So, if you have a great story that you can put on your tape, if you make a web extra, you can show that to them during an interview.
As the job search continues, I think everyday how glad I am to be thinking in a web sense. Mostly, in the end, the web experience could be the difference in getting an offer or not.
