Today's video of the day comes to us from The Great Big Story.  The video highlights Kerri Cameron, a motorcycle stuntwoman, who rides for Luke Fox's original "Wall of Death."  The wall of death is a nearly vertical, circle-shaped track that most riders would consider insane. Before she was a Wall of Death rider, Cameron rode horses for a living. Today, she performs dangerous stunts with grace and keeps an adrenalin-pumping tradition alive.

We like this story for a few reasons.  The Wall of Death itself is an interesting hook.  It's something that you don't see everyday and would draw in any viewer.  Also, Cameron is a great character, and she brings us through the narrative.  Great Big Story does great work and you should check out their other content.

TV News’ Original Sin
January 08, 2025

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?
