Re: I gotta ask this about TV hurricane coverage. Hope it\'s not too

Howard, the reporter isn't just there to stand in the wind and rain for the 5-second live shot -- they also get what's called "a story," whereby the reporter looks around the area, talks to locals, gathers information, and forms an entire piece that is either filmed there or pieced together later.

Oh, I know that. And it's the same story every time. Knocked down trees, roofs blown off, hopefully only a few people killed and injured, people staying in the school building, emergency aid and all of that. But there are certainly Jamaican and Mexican news reporters who can do it for them and they know the people and the area better. And besides, OOT is not the place for common sensical, reasonable answers is it? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
