EmailSpectrum1 (LA) MMJ Natalie Brunell used her iPhone shot and edited story for the network in a slightly different and very intersting way.
Usually, a reporter will report a story.
But in this case, Natalie turned her phone on her subject and allowed him to directly address the powers that be - in this case, the California Department of Farm Affairs.
The result work - particularly as Lou Royce looks direclty into the lens, speakling person to person, one on one to the CDFA.
This is powerful stuff.
So much better than Natalie doing the traditional on air reporter stand up.
As you'll notice, Natalie does not appear in the story.
It's not her story really, it's Lou's.
A great next step would be for Natalie to take her laptop over to the CDFA and show the video to an official there, and shoot his reaction and response.
Meanwhile, check out the rather astonishing quality of the video that the iPhone delivers.
Good job Natalie!

For most of human history, people lived in a world without news. The concept simply did not exist. The idea of news is really a 19th-century phenomenon, driven first by newspapers, and then by electronic media which brought us radio, then TV and now the web. Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news. Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.
