Outside the Supreme Court for opening day of the health care hearings.
Serial Armed Robbers Still At Large in NW DC:
In the last month, there’s been NINE armed robberies in Northwest Washington.
(For those of you that don’t know DC, it’s a big deal because that’s traditionally one of the safest parts of town.)
D.C. Abortion Ban? An Arizona Congressman has introduced legislation that would ban late-term abortions in the Washington.
The Today Show Down Under
Why can’t news in the U.S. be more like this?!
If you’ve ever dreamed of being an astronaut, now is your chance! NASA has just kicked off its application process for new astronauts. Deadline is January 27, 2012. I’m looking for serious candidates who are actually going to apply and who meet the qualifications listed here:
If that’s you, please hit me up: kristinfish@gmail.com
P.S. My Astro-Mom has already sent me an email with subject line “Space Reporter Astronaut??” and with the astronaut application attached. Unfortunately, a measly journalism degree won’t fly.
Outside shooting a story with my sexy new Sony EX1R on a spectacular fall day. These are my favorite kind of work days (Except for the fact that the people I need to interview aren’t calling me back. Minor detail.)
Car Crashes into D.C. Sports Radio Station
“The Sports Junkies” were in the middle of a commercial break during their popular morning show, when a car crashed through their call screening room. The driver says he swerved to avoid a pedestrian, but the Sports Junkies aren’t convinced. They’ve got their own theories about what happened, and they shared them with me while I interviewed them on their own show. Very… meta.
Metro Bus Passenger Shot and Killed
Perks of the job filling-in on the early morning shift. I’m on Pennsylvania Avenue covering today’s emergency vote by the D.C. Council to temporarily repeal the Criminal Penalty for Unregistered Motorists Act. At the moment, anyone driving in the district with expired tags over 30 days can be arrested and issued a criminal citation. Yes, really. That’s currently the law of the land in the nation’s capital.
The stakeout is an opportunity for reporters to relinquish their dignity by loitering around someone’s office or house waiting to ask a question the target wants to avoid.
the incomparable Lesley Stahl in her book, Reporting Live
I’m immersed in her memoir and it’s making me feel like I got into this business thirty-years too late. At least I can take comfort knowing that the “reporter stakeout” was as bad back then as it is today.
After Irene. Sunrise over Nags Head Beach. One of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
Video Journal: Enemy #1
The worst part of covering Irene hasn’t been the rain, the wind, or even the lack of power. It’s the…
Video Journal: Hurricane Coverage 101
If you want to see how crazy TV reporters cover hurricanes, then watch this.
(My apologies for the poor audio quality. I had to seal my iPhone in a waterproof case. Pop in some headphones if you can’t hear it.)
Wake up Washingtion! Congrats on surviving the Great Earthquake of 2011! I’m live at the Washington Monument where engineers are inspecting cracks caused by the quake. Contrary to popular opion, the monument is not going all Guido on us (a la the Leaning Tower of Pisa). But it is closed until the cracks can be repaired.
At the press sneak peak of the MLK memorial. It’s very Rushmore-esque, don’t you think?
