We are normally not big fans of putting the reporter into a TV story.
We'll make an excetion for LA Spectrum News 1 MMJ Tanya McRae.
A graduate of our bootcamp, Tanya has been on the front lines of the Covid-19 story. TV journalists are. Unlike newspapers or radio or online, to get a story, they have to physically go out and get the storyh in person.
And this puts them at risk.
But i a world where the rest of us are in lockdown at home, depending on news channels to keep us informed, this is necessary.

Tanya got there first.
Here is her story - in two parts
And here's part 2
Needless to say, all done on an iPhone.
