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.
