Workshop Speaker: Scott Broom
Scott Broom is often asked, “How the heck can you do anything that passes as legitimate TV reporting if you’re busy driving, shooting, editing and posting to the web?” Broom has learned to find the balance in today's digital age and will share some of what he has learned managing the workload of an assignment desk, producer, photographer, editor and correspondent while getting it all done on tight deadlines. “The crew is gone,” Broom explains, “I work alone, shooting and editing my own video. I write and deliver content on all platforms all the time. I file text, video, and photo updates to the Internet throughout the day via wireless broadband.
