Scope and Contents

Animals get lonely in winter with fewer human visitors. 01:11.

Louise Degn's note: This was my first TV news story. I interviewed Hogle Zoo director LaMar Farnsworth on the phone to get the facts, wrote the script, then went to the zoo with photographer Darius Gray to shoot it. I knew nothing about TV journalism as my emphasis in journalism school was newspaper journalism. Darius sat me down at a picnic table at the zoo and explained how TV news stories worked with A and B rolls. My voice sounds very amateurish as I'd had no voice training. Soon KSL hired Rex Campbell, a KSL radio legend, to give me voice lessons. Photographer/Editor: Darius Gray. Script available.
