Winter Warzone

Ice damage in Southeast Missouri from the winter storm that hit this past Monday and Tuesday. Tens of thousands are still without power. Just two of the photos from my live shot last night. To see more photos and my story click here.

My First Blog Post

Second week of dot com and I am feeling pretty comfortable with KOMU.com and ACM. For my shift Thursday night it was important to post pictures of the gang bust. Since there were three separate stories I also had to be careful not to confuse them. That wasn't the only news for the night, I made sure there was a link to the new airport plans.

Last night, I had my live shot shift. I wrote the web version of my story for the first time and I think it turned out well. I had a lot of information, a link and really awesome pictures. I also posted the video myself (something I didn't know how to do 2 weeks ago).

I feel like dot com was one of the only things at KOMU that I didn't have a good handle on. Now that I'm in Jen's class I hope to know KOMU.com inside and out because it is such an important part of our stories. Hopefully I'm already on my way there.
