Kudos Don Knapp

Former KRON on-air reporter Don Knapp took the VJ training last year. Knapp was admittedly an old timer, a long-time KRON reporter with a great track record and a great journalist.

There is always concern that the VJ movement will eclipse old established journalists.  Knapp certainly proves this wrong.  Although he is no longer at KRON, he just posted his first piece as a VJ for The New York Times.  Check out his story on “The Sutter Buttes.”  Now that’s journalism! Congrats, Don. Nice job.
