J.D. Miles is an award-winning reporter with KTVT | CBS News Texas. He’s been reporting since 1996 and has worked all over the world. But until last week, he had always worked with a crew. Last week was different.
JD participated in our intensive 5-day video storytelling bootcamp. We’ve been doing these with CBS News and Stations for two years now, and the approach, the product is very different. I think JD came into the bootcamp more than a bit skeptical. I think he left with a very different idea of how TV news stories could be made and what they could look like.
Appended is a story that JD reported, shot, scripted, tracked, edited and produced all on his own, all in one day, and all with nothing but an iPhone. The result, I think you’ll agree, is a pretty powerful personal story – just the kind of thing that viewers really resonate to.
