The remarkably talented Nikki Kay is a graduate of one of our bootcamps.

She's also the sports reporter for Spectrum News 1 Los Angeles.

Last week, she went to Dodger Stadium for Opening Day, and she brought along her iPhone - as usual.  

Everyone at Spectrum News 1 shoots with an iPhone.

Lots of times, particulary in the time of Covid, we are asked, how do you do a personal story if there is no one there?

Nikki brillianttly answers the question.

She also is bringing exactly the kind of personal authorship we hope to engender by moving from conventional local TV news to an entirely new model.

TV News’ Original Sin

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
