It\u2019s a brave new (technological) world in broadcast news and Local 600 camera crews are in the thick of it. By\u00a0<\/span>Pauline Rogers.<\/p>\n

Broadcast news has come a very long way from the days of Edward R. Murrow\u2019s famous radio sign-off \u2013\u00a0\u201cGood Night and Good Luck\u201d \u2013 heard at the outset of WWII when decent, freedom-loving people were uncertain they would even see each other the next day. Nowadays the news barely pauses for nightfall, streaming into our lives 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.<\/p>\n

Gone are the days to rush home to see Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, or any other legendary anchorman, fill us in on global events during the dinner hour. Now it\u2019s news on demand, as we all simply turn to our mobile devices whenever we are hungry for the latest crisis. That means that was once an industry driven by pedestal camera in-studio productions and location shoots with large, complex trucks, is now mostly live you-are-there reportage, captured with everything from handheld video cameras to GoPros and iPhones. For our September Broadcast TV themed issue, we wanted to visit with various Local 600 News Photo Journalists around the nation, who are responsible for feeding the omnivorous beast that is today\u2019s news industry.<\/p>\n

Like Local 600 Shop Steward Terry Haggart, who has worked on Good Day Sacramento<\/i> (KMAX CW31) since 1995, when it was first developed. Initially, when Good Day Sacramento <\/i>launched, it used large format tape low-resolution tube cameras that \u201cyou could literally ruin if you pointed at a bright light too long,\u201d Haggart laughs.<\/p>\n

Today, the show\u2019s five-and-one-half hours of live broadcasting (seven days a week) is shot with High Definition 1920×1080 Sony XD cameras with a hard drive SxS card that is the size of a stick of gum. Haggart also carries a variety of HD Mini cameras like the GoPro Hero 3+ and Liquid Image EGO.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love to give the viewer a perspective that is generally unattainable from the human eye,\u201d Haggart describes. \u201cThe new technology has allowed me to take the viewer to places they never get to see. It\u2019s really brought this industry to a new level.\u201d<\/p>\n

KMAX CW31, a CBS owned and operated station, now boasts a fleet of over 10 live trucks including a mobile live unit that can report traffic and breaking news on the go with two internal cameras and a rooftop camera that rotates and pans in a 360-degree motion, operated by a passenger with a joystick. \u201cWe can literally drive up transmitting live pictures to our viewers,\u201d Haggart marvels. \u201cI am now also using a LiveU and TVU system, which is basically a live truck in a bag. It is a 25-pound backpack device that transmits live High Definition Television signals through cellular bandwidth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haggart admits he\u2019s always been a bit of an extreme sports adrenaline junkie; and with this new small format capture technology he\u2019s done live shots from offshore race boats, riding motorcycles, snow skiing down mountains, moving trains and parachute jumping from flying planes. \u201cThe possibilities are endless,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

But with this new freedom, there also comes a downside.<\/p>\n

\"Sunny<\/a>
Sunny Shields, news cameraman and Local 600 representative at NBC (Detroit, MI)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen unregulated camera-carrying quad-copter drones being used over crowds of people,\u201d he cautions. \u201cI personally own one but they are currently off limits to use at our news station. It won\u2019t be long before new laws and regulations will be coming out as they will get into the hands of the wrong people, used for the wrong reasons. It\u2019s a shame because [drones], when used properly, could be a huge asset to professional photojournalists.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the challenges Haggart often must face is what he calls the \u201cinstant live shot,\u201d and situations where news producers will want live pictures, while not fully understanding certain limitations of the live situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever a new photojournalist comes to work with us, I always emphasize the importance of safety and making proper judgment calls when out shooting,\u201d Haggart relates. \u201cBreaking news is often based on dangerous situations \u2013 riots, fires, floods, and shootings. It can be so easy to get caught up in the moment, when you are filled with adrenaline and being pressured to feed back live pictures. Ultimately, we are own judges in the field, so it\u2019s important to make sure safety is the first priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Washington State, KING5 television news<\/b> photojournalist David Wike now also chases developing stories with any new tool on the market. The 30-plus year veteran says that to keep up with the story, he and his colleagues are \u201cmuch more\u201d than news photographers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe report, drive and operate live trucks, and edit our stories,\u201d Wike describes. \u201cWe cover western Washington State from the Kelso area of the Columbia River all the way to the Canadian border. Not to mention with Mount St. Helens looming. Depending on the subject or event you may find me almost anywhere, with the Seahawks recently in New York, for example, or embedded with the 555th<\/sup> combat engineer group in Iraq in 2003.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of us shoot with Sony SxS cameras,\u201d Wike continues, \u201cand Canon or Fuji long zooms. We record onto removable SxS cards and then download the video files, either into our main server at the station or onto portable laptops that we carry with us in our news cars and edit the video into news stories using Sony non-linear edit software. Stories from the field are then fed via live trucks with satellite or microwave capabilities, digital backpacks, or FTP via our mobile Wi-Fi units. The trick is how fast we can transfer the files and how good can we maintain the HD quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wike keeps a GoPro and Mini DV camcorder in his equipment bag for POV shots or even as backup to the regular news-cam. \u201cYou just have to be prepared for anything,\u201d he insists. \u201cThe digital backpacks that are replacing the live trucks, while a good thing, still have limitations and that is hard to make producers understand.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a given day I can go from a large gas leak in an Eastside neighborhood to a motorcycle accident following an high speed chase on the interstate. I cut some video of the first on my laptop and FTP it in for our noon show. The other example I brought back and it was ingested into the server for the evening news. That same day, I loaded into a live truck and did a story on a sex predator working the ferryboat system. It\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in today\u2019s digital landscape, Wike is also expected to capture still images for the station\u2019s website and Twitter feed. \u201cThe trick is finding time while concentrating on job one to capture the event on video for your news story,\u201d he says, \u201cand still take the time to craft intelligent and accurate bits for the Web and Twittersphere.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut,\u201d he cautions, \u201cit\u2019s really the pressure to compromise quality that\u2019s my biggest fear. We\u2019re still great storytellers, but the viewing audience, and even our own producers ,just want volume \u2013 the iPhone and YouTube-video is now the new standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelly Daviscourt of KIRO, Seattle, agrees that <\/b>her duties in broadcast news broaden considerably with each passing year. \u201cWhen I started working in Seattle, 16 years ago, we had a truck operator, photographer and reporter,\u201d Daviscourt shares. \u201cBut the new digital technology has changed all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the May Day parade and protest this year, Daviscourt carried a LiveU backpack for over four hours while following marchers, protesters and police up and down the streets and sidewalks of Seattle. \u201cWe shot live interviews and live reports every few minutes all while avoiding pepper spray and some hostile protesters,\u201d she describes.<\/p>\n

\u201cLive streaming and the need to feed the Web is a new and vital part of our jobs,\u201d Daviscourt continues. \u201cLong gone are the days of just going live during a regular scheduled newscast or breaking in to regular programming. It\u2019s live for news conferences, breaking news, and any \u2018newsworthy\u2019 event, and the backpack\/portable live gear allows for this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daviscourt says she\u2019s having to use her own mobile devices ever more regularly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe gather information about the news events by using social media and the Internet,\u201d she relates. \u201cWe network with possible victims, suspects and witnesses. And we can immediately inform our television viewers, Facebook friends and Twitter followers. There is a lot of information [jail rosters and police reports] available online from businesses and government agencies. We gather information in the van while driving to the scene. It is an intense, non-stop pace of news gathering and telling that has become a necessity in this \u2018information now\u2019 world we live in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"KING5<\/a>

In Portland, News Photojournalist Bob Foster feels the same kind of pressure. \u201cWe edit most of our own material,\u201d he remarks. \u201cThat\u2019s a lot different from when I started in the 1980s, where the IKAGAMI 77 [which ran off a battery belt] and 79 [which didn\u2019t] were three tube video systems that sometimes required registering by an engineer. These cameras were attached with a 25-foot long umbilical cord to a heavy [and unreliable] SONY BVU 100 video recorder, or to a BVU 50 [lighter but even more unreliable].<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past two years, we have been shooting with SONY BVW 500 cameras, which record HD onto SxS cards \u2013 about the size of a couple of sticks of gum,\u201d Foster says, echoing other leading edge Guild shooters. \u201cWe got all the expansion boards, again, and, again, have the most versatile camera in the market when it comes to things like courtroom pool feeds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foster describes such \u201cpool feeds\u201d as an exercise in implementing a workflow that incorporates four different television stations shooting on four different formats.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like reinventing the wheel every time there is a courtroom pool situation,\u201d he smiles. \u201cWe\u2019re still using Grass Valley Edius\u00ae <\/b>6.06, which seamlessly uses not just these different formats, but the GoPro H264 codec, smartphones, web downloads, stills, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Detroit, MI, Smart Phones have become a key part<\/b> of newsgathering, as Sunny Shields, news cameraman and Local 600 representative at NBC, explains.<\/p>\n

\"Kelly<\/a>

\u201cLast winter, a bad storm came through while I was making a one-hour trip back to the studio,\u201d Shields remembers. \u201cOn the freeway, my reporter and I witnessed countless cars and trucks off the side. But instead of pulling over and getting my camera from the back of the truck, I grabbed my iPhone 5 and recorded the massive amount of snow falling, accident after accident and even shooting my reporter in the passenger seat doing various \u2018teases and stand-ups.\u2019 All while driving, and yes, I was wearing my seatbelt doing 10-20 [mph] in the heavy snow and felt I was not in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheilds recorded seven 60-second video clips with his Smart Phone and e-mailed them back to the station. Once he arrived, he sat down with his reporter and put the news story together. \u201cThe quality that came out was as if I shot it off of our current capture, the Sony PMX 400K XDCAM HD,\u201d he states.<\/p>\n

In fact, as often both shooter and reporter, Shields is constantly on the move \u2013 driving to different cities to gather elements that he can piece together in the ENG live truck, editing with Grass Valley Aurora DNE editing system, and then feeding it back out to the station via microwave. \u201cThere are days where creativity is out the door because time is of the essence to get it back and ready to go Live for our 4, 5, 6 p.m. newscast,\u201d he admits. \u201cProducers want two to three teasers, which can be really time consuming as you try to get the back story for the newscast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shields says the biggest challenge in TV News today is just trying to keep up with new technology, \u201cbecause after six months to a year, another model will hit the market, and you have to re-program yourself to learn this new method,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd, because some news stations across the country are short staffed, training on new cameras and editing systems are scaled down to a one-day class \u2013 thereafter, you have to depend on the product manual because they can\u2019t afford to have you off the streets for so long.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Shields also admits that new technology can be creatively liberating, as in his recent iPhone shoot. \u201cThere\u2019s also the freeing ability to use LiveU and Dejero backpack devices for streaming live video,\u201d he counters. \u201cIt\u2019s the future \u2013 potentially eliminating the need for television stations to spend money on news vans. But that\u2019s a little further ahead, still in use sporadically, depending on the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shields\u2019 use of the LiveU backpack is typically for court cases, press conferences, and live talkbacks. \u201cUnion rules require, while going live \u2018inside\u2019 a building,\u201d he adds, \u201cthat two photographers must be on site. However, with a LiveU backpack, only one photographer is needed. Another reason for using the LiveU in court cases and press conferences is that we can livestream it back to the station\u2019s website for our viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broadcast news, in whatever form it\u2019s consumed \u2013 radio, TV, Website, mobile streaming, etc. \u2013 will always rely on experienced Guild camera men and women as the backbone of the industry. But, as Terry Haggart notes, his role is always changing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen explaining my job to someone unfamiliar with my career,\u201d Haggart concludes, \u201cI would say: \u2018my camera is my brush and the world is my canvas. And in today\u2019s world I am definitely producing more paintings than ever before!\u201d he laughs.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, whatever my personal feelings, the future of news is all about Live TV and less of the high end, top quality human-interest stories that once were so common. And that means that wherever the stories take me these days, I\u2019m often just sticking my brush in the paint can and flinging it on the canvas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Haggart, adds, after 20 years as a TV journalist, he can\u2019t imagine any other career path. \u201cWhat other job allows me to broadcast live images of the devastation from the [recent] 6.1 earthquake in Napa [CA] one day and then be sent the very next morning to do a live shot with bowtie-wearing guinea pigs that do tricks? This job never gets old.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
