I can't tell you guys how excited I am to get "Choose Your News" up and running.  For the next month, you the viewer will get to choose what story you want me to cover every day.  Basically, you get to be my boss.  So here's how it works...

Every night on Nightside, the anchors will announce three story ideas (email all suggestions to kfisher@katv.com).  Then you will have until then end of Daybreak to vote on what you think my assignment should be for the day.  The winning assignment will be announced shortly before 7 AM and then I will get to work.   

Now here's the fun part.  Throughout the day, you will be able to watch what it takes to put together a story for the evening news via live streaming web cams, blogs, and twitters.  From making the morning rounds of phone calls to conducting interviews (even the horribly tedious task of primping before a live shot), you can see the story unfold as it happens.  You can also help shape the coverage by emailing me throughout the day about who I should talk to, what angle I should take, and what questions you would like answered.  The sum of our efforts - the finished product - will air in our 6 PM newscast.   

I look forward to having a daily conversation with all of you.  Hope you enjoy...
