Welcome to the PIT List!

I'm a network field producer who also worked in local tv as a line producer and field producer. Over the years, I have had the great fortune to work with super people. Now I'd like to pass along what I know and rant a tad.

MLK Day

I just saw a decent local MLK day story and I want to share it.

Imagine most of the MLK stories you do each year. NATS of "I have a dream speech" figure in somewhere, yes?

I saw one reporter do a local tie-in. He talked with sanitation workers in town. Martin Luther King had gone to Tennessee to support striking sanitation workers when he was assassinated. Nothing groundbreaking-- but you know? Nice touch. I'm always impressed by people who can find a new way to do the same stories we cover year after year.
