100 Days of Television News

My biggest regret as a TV reporter is that I haven’t documented my travels very well. It’s a shame, because in 26 years, I have been almost everywhere, and I’ve seen almost everything. I have forgotten more stories than I actually remember, which is why I’m thinking about posting pics of my newest “travels” right here…on this blog. I said I’m thinking about it. I’m not sure I will actually do it, or will even remember to do it. But it’s a fun project to think about. Plus, it’ll give me something to do on “slow news days” like today…

…when I went to the City of Anderson, SC with photographer Mark Lyon for a Project Economy story.

Mark shoots the obligatory "postcard" shots of downtown.

Equal to, and perhaps even more important than the story at hand was, when did this restaurant open, and why didn’t we know about it?

Fortunately, we resisted the urge to try it. Doing so would’ve been “expensive.”

Contrary to popular belief, I do not spend all my time at work researching investigative stories. I still get out from behind the desk and cover breaking stories, like this huge fire at a garbage transfer station.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Here’s Mark Lyon and I covering a big park announcement in Greenville County.

You never know what each new day will bring.
