Creating and hosting a history series for the news

CAREER

Creating and hosting a history series for the news

I’ve worked on many stories in my career, and while most news jobs focus on day-of content, I’ve been fortunate enough to work on documentary style, long-form and evergreen pieces as well.

I’m very proud of these stories. I co-produced Dead Horse Bay, which was the first-ever piece to be nominated and to win an Emmy Award for ABC News National’s digital unit. I reported on FGC/FGM in the U.S., which was nominated for a Webby Award. I pitched, shot, wrote and produced both of these stories.

Hidden History is another feature series I really enjoyed creating and hosting for ABC7 Los Angeles.

I got the idea from Huell Howser and California’s Gold, a family favorite. Huell travels around California, showcasing amazing history and fascinating people.

So I decided to pitch a modern idea and approach to a history series, featuring my favorite city and one in which I work, Los Angeles.

I continued to integrate new technology as I worked on these pieces. Some of the stories I shot with a C100 and other stories are all done with an iPhone and mobile gear.

The Greeks embraced a culture of change, and that’s a big part of news. Things are always changing and evolving. The only constant is change. Embracing it will help with innovation and progress.

But what’s important not to miss are the lessons we can learn from history. The past relates to today, to the news, and to our lives on a daily basis. What’s new and what’s old are intertwined.
