WHSV Assigns Reporter to WHSV Studio
Posted on 9/02/2009 by Jeremy Aldrich
HARRISONBURG - Local television station WHSV-TV3, recognizing an "underserved market where lots of news is happening," has assigned a reporter to the WHSV studio itself.
"You know, last week it was a suspected gas leak at the studio, and this week it was an arrested reporter," says News Director Ted Roams.
"We are realizing that this is a local community where news is happening, and we don't want to miss any further developments here just because we're too focused on other communities."
Roams has put cub reporter Maria Chu-Gonzalez-Hamilton-Otembe on the job. During a typical day, he says, she might travel from the lobby to as far away as the sales department or the parking lot in search of breaking news. Today, for example, she is working on a human interest story about an employee's cute new baby as well as a hard-hitting expose on who keeps drinking the last of the coffee without making a new pot.
Since assigning the reporter, Roams says, people in the WHSV community have started turning to the station's website for news soon after arriving at work, rather than going to the Daily News-Record or local blogs first.
