The Tri-States got hit with a HUGE snow storm this week. It began early Tuesday morning (2/1/11) and didn't stop for the next 24 hours. Truly an epic snow storm. We at KHQA were, of course, all over this winter coverage. Aside from our live coverage and great use of reporter creativity, we rocked the social media aspect. Throughout the last two days, our news and sales team worked together posting every school/activity closing to the web and Facebook as soon as they were called in. But what really seemed to stick out with our viewers was these behind the scenes videos I shot throughout the day. Every hour, I'd take my phone and shoot whatever was going on in the newsroom and posted it to our fan page. The videos consisted of our meteorologist going out every hour and measuring the snow amounts, our producers meeting to discuss how to stack the show and a look inside the studio showing how the whole show comes together. These received the most views and comments, all speaking very highly of how great we'd been keeping our viewers updated. Below, you can click to watch a collage of the many videos I shot.
