Safety in the Rivermarket


I'm doing a little late afternoon blogging today. We spent the morning working on our story about the new surveillance cameras going in around the Rivermarket district. It was one of the those stories that came together flawlessly. We had one of our interns, Lindsey, with us. We had interviewed Lt. Terry Hastings, shot video in the Rivermarket and gotten two man on the street (MOS) interviews all in about 40 minutes. She looked at me and Rich (photographer) and said, "It's not always this easy, right?" My response, "I wish."

I knew the surveillance camera story was a fairly solid one when I was able to find plenty of people on the street who wanted to talk about the issue. From my short time as a reporter, I've learned often times people will tell you they can never feel too safe.

We're working to get CYN back up and running at full speed. I have found the desk cam, which had disappeared following the Road Trip. I hope to be live streaming again by Wednesday morning. We're also bringing back the Daily Debrief, but in a different capacity. I love that feature and I want to make sure we use it well. I'll have more details on that later this week.

In the meantime, story ideas for tomorrow are up on our website. You can vote HERE.
