- As a news photographer, I work with reporters on news stories and breaking news that involve the community of northwest Arkansas. At times, I will be sent out on a story by myself in order to get multiple VOSOT’s for the newscast. Not only do I shoot interviews and b-roll, I also do live shots on the scene of breaking news. During the weekends, I also edit the morning newscasts. This job kept me on my toes and has taught me time management.
