2012 Lone star chapter regional emmy(r) award winner: best evening newscast
|
The night before this show, tornadoes rolled into South Texas; three touched down in the small towns of Devine and Natalia. I had three reporters and found a different way of introducing each story (chopper video, viewer photos, data I searched out and analyzed). I also wrapped up coverage with a history of this weather pattern in our viewing area in the last six months and a pitch to our web site.

2013 Lone star chapter regional emmy (r) nominated: best evening newscast
|
A gunman disrupted the midnight showing of "The Black Knight" in Aurora, Colorado. He killed one San Antonio native and injured another. I produced the entire newscast around this event. Two reporters covered the San Antonio victims; a third reported from the scene in Aurora; a fourth looked into how the suspect got the firearms; a fifth talked to local theaters about how they were reacting. I threaded the stories together with information about the suspect, the crime scene locations, 911 calls and social media posts.
