EmailYour predictable Memorial Day story for local news generally invoves a parade, a few veterans and a visit to a cemetery.
All pretty much scriped out and all pretty predictable - Just like last year and the year before and the year before that.
But this year is different.
That's becasue of the virus.
So take a look at this story, done by Spectrum News 1 MMJ Kate Cagle in Los Angeles.
It was all done on an iPhone and turned, from first arrival at the house to air in just 3 hours.
Pretty impressive.
And when the story aired, the head of KNBC in LA called Kate and remarked what a great crew she must have had.
The crew, of course, as her.
Alone.

I was a bit surprised to see that my regular newsstand, on 6th Avenue and 55th Street, had exactly 3 newspapers for sale — one copy of Baron’s and two copies of The New York Post. That was it. No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
