Opening of “#BroadcastNews” (1987): #HollyHunter buys every paper from coin-op newspaper racks, walks past a row of gas cars, dials a heavy wired phone, edits videotapes for broadcast. 36 years is a whole different world.

As I become more active here, I'm seeing that I should have done an #introduction post early on. So here it is.

I'm a PhD Professor who once was a #PublicRelations exec, after having been a PIO for the state of #Georgia, a #BroadcastNews journalist, and (early on) a rock radio disc jockey.

Seriously.

Big fan of dark chocolate, cats, fiber arts and baking.
Not fan of #Republicans these days, virulent narcissist billionaires, or brussels sprouts.

Rarely really serious.

DESK ASSISTANT
August 8, 1974. I was the Desk Assistant for anchor Howard K. Smith at ABC News in Washington, D.C. I am handing Mr. Smith the script for the evening's broadcast reporting the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon. It was my job to distribute the scripts in the newsroom. Had the foresight to ask a colleague who happened to have her still camera with her to snap the historic photo.
