 Dart- in his own words...
 
"I was born in Virgina Beach,VA on December 13, 1978, but spent most of my life in Pinehurst.
 

In 1985, I remember my parents buying a home video camera. That was my first experience with a camera.

I remember everywhere we went, little crowds would gather around, because at that time, you only saw camcorders on a movie set,

or a news station.

 
My next taste of video was for my high school morning TV Productions class. I realized at that time how powerful of a tool it was to
be able to make your own videos. I attened NC State University, and completed getting a beoadcasting degree at UNCP.
 
After graduating, I worked for the university for 3 years after, making promo videos under the Provost. After that I started a
videography Business called, Von Master Video. Shortly after, I went to the Rosenblumtv Video Bootcamp. It was there that I
learned a few valuable skills that took the place of years of study.
 
I went on to spend the next 6 years creating a diverse body of videos. Promotional, live events, weddings, music videos,
were a few types.
 
In January of 2016, my business was aquired by a local Raleigh company, and I just finished my
first year as the lead Videographer at a company called Imaginovation."

Character-driven journalism is not new to newspapers, though it once was. It was once called The New Journalism in the 1960s — see Truman Capote or Tom Wolfe. Today it is industry standard. Why not take the Sopranos or Breaking Bad formula and marry it to TV journalism? (How many interviews have you seen in The Sopranos? How many Man on the Street soundbites have you seen in Breaking Bad?)


In a recent study by The Reuters Institute, 40% of Americans no longer watch or read the news at all. They find it too depressing. All doom and gloom.


There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news. Viewership of TV news in general has fallen off, so naturally, TV executives across the boards are searching for a solution. How to appeal to a demographic that spends most of their time on social media?
