There's No Whining in TV News

Thanks to Randy Neal of KnoxViews.com for his blog about the daily operation of our newsroom.
It is extremely detailed. And, I think, accurately describes what a day in TV news is like.
For those of us who've been around for a while, it's easy to become jaded to the amount of effort it takes to put together a newscast. Fresh eyes, especially sharp ones like Randy's, have a way of reminding us, and explaining to others, how difficult newsgathering really is.
His account is long, but if you're curious about how TV news is gathered, you definitely should check it out.
It's called: An inside look at local TV news: a day with WATE 6 News. It's an excellent look at one day in the life of our newsroom.
