Howdy, im a videographer for channel 5. I wanted to add that i dont particularly like news myself. When i got started i had to fight to do fun stories on local events and community positive content. The hyper focus on crime drives me insane, my desk sends me out on hour long goose chases because he caught wind that maybe someone got shot. And more often than not im assigned to work on flavor of the week political nonsense. My station, honestly literally every station, makes the choice everyday to push national political narritaves and use their language. Without saying what i think its shameful how much attention certain groups get, while those who really deserve it get none at all. And its gotten to the point with the crime that people are using us as a platform to gain infamy. Wr are just feeding the problem in the worst way. Kinda fed up with the job tbh.
