This video is very indicative of what newsrooms think of the people who are the backbone and life blood of a local tv news broadcast. There is only one brief mention of news photographers... the rest is 9 minutes of "hey look at me!" local news videographers carry the gear, shoot and edit the stories with little or no time til deadline and go into some of the most dangerous situations on the planet. Yet, 95% of people that work in a newsroom see them as nothing more than pack mules for the cameras... this video is a prime example.
it's because the way audio recordings were done before everything was tapeless, narrations would be on one side, and the b-roll audio would be on the other side, and when it was played out, it would mix down. This was very standard before everything went full digital. This looks like this was an original package around 2004.
So proud to be a part of this newsroom!

Woah, tape use, so retro.
Way too much work. I rather sit on my ass all day and drink a beer
The audio in this clip is terrible.
