Multimedia Minutes: Overcoming Challenges — Finding a “Real Person”
A major challenge for multimedia journalists is putting a face on a story — finding a “real person” to breathe life into storytelling.
KVOA (Tucson) multimedia journalist Jeff Westlake points to this story was one of his biggest challenges. You’ll see he did find a “real person.” He says he did it at the last minute:
No one in the area was worried about their trees or had trouble with them in the past.

Aside from that, it was fun.
