Today, we had a group of students from Shaw University come and visit our station.
I am always delighted to see students in our newsroom. It’s the look of excitement when they see a television newsroom operating. They were shown around the building and introduced to some of our staff. Most importantly, they got to ask us lots of questions about how a newsroom operates.
This weekend is our 2nd Rex On-Call show. It’s Hosted by Rex Hospital’s Melody Hunter-Pillion.
If you have questions about orthopedic surgery in the Triangle, please make sure to tune into NBC 17, starting at 7:30pm on Saturday June 15th, 2007. Between now and than, you are encourage to email questions. You can also call in during the live show.
Bad knees? Hips? Considering joint replacement? - Mark your calendars and set your DVR’s for this Saturday at 7:30pm…Rex On-Call…Live on NBC 17.
When you hear someone in the media talk about a pool feed it doesn’t mean we are getting the bathing suits out and then having lunch. Instead it is another one of those funny terms we use…
As a viewer you have seen pool video you but may not have known what it was called. The Nifong hearings are a great example of a pool feed.
With so many media outlets from across the country in town for the hearings, space is limited. It is one thing to fit 50 people in a room to follow the hearings. It is something even bigger to add all the lights and cameras that go with each and every media outlet. To save space only one station, in this case Court TV, has cameras in the room and then they provide the rest of us access to those cameras.
This time around it is on a live satellite we can all see. We use pool feeds often in the media when it comes to court proceedings, stump speeches and other large media events when space is limited.
I hope this provided some insight…please feel free to post any questions you may have.

We make a lot of calls to a lot of people and we often get calls from viewers with news tips or questions but today the phone rang even more than normal.
The reason is simple…Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong goes before the NC State bar tomorrow and every media outlet you can think of is in town, coming to town or working with somebody in town to follow this story. (The bright spot is we might not have to talk about Paris for a few days.)
With so many heading to town planning is key…credentials, parking passes, camera setup. Getting to the courthouse on time has never been as important. This is not something you show up and just expect you will get everything you need. Our planning for this day started weeks ago.
We have been through this several times when it comes to the Duke Lacrosse case and no doubt it will happen again. Whatever happens this week we will be ready to go.
You may have noticed at the end of some of our newscasts, we have been soliciting viewer feedback.
Everyday we strive to provide you with relevant facts about stories that impact your life. How are we doing? That’s the question we are asking you to answer, everyday.
It’s a chance to voice your thoughts or concerns about how we covered the day’s news. Each week, we pull from the email submissions and read a sampling of them on-air. We don’t censor the submissions. The submissions read on air are randomly selected.
We know you may not agree with how we presented a story. This is your chance to share your opinion or viewpoint with us.
I encourage everyone to take full advantage of this opportunity.
