"Officer Shot"

2:37 PM Fri, Jan 18, 2008 |

It's a disturbing headline for an email, and one that quickly jumpstarts everyone in a newsroom... "Officer Shot." Unfortunately, we got that email at 8:59 last night.

Amazing Alliteration

8:12 PM Fri, Jan 11, 2008 |

I love alliteration. In fact, at my old station my two best friends (who happened to be the photographers I worked with most nights) and I would come up with ridiculous sentences or phrases that we'd try to put in stories or live shots.

Reading Rainbow

7:28 PM Thu, Jan 10, 2008 |

As a child, I loved to read. I didn't need to be bribed with free pan pizzas from Pizza Hut for Book It, or stickers or prizes, I would pick up a book "just because".

I thought I knew some big sports fans. My brother is a die-hard Eagles fan, my brother-in-law a big-time Redskins fan, and I've interviewed some crazy Steelers fans (my favorite are "Steeler Dan" and "Steeler Dave" in Central Pennsylvania. They have full Steelers uniforms and wigs, and drive around a big van painted black and gold). But even THEY can't compare to the couple I met tonight.

Starting Over...

7:52 PM Wed, Jan 02, 2008 |

Now that it's 2008 many of us are looking forward to fresh starts. Yesterday I met a woman who was really excited to start the new year by moving in with her boyfriend. But her hopes for 2008 were ruined when a fire ripped through her apartment building, destroying everything she owns.
