McLeod Insights
A place of harmony among various lenses
Once upon a time, a variety of lenses meant haggling with cumbersome camera gear. Today, an iPhone is the go-to for many field videographers.
Pitching a story to a newsroom? Work backward
As a reporter who has been desperate for so long to find great story ideas, let me tell you: We always welcome someone with a good story idea to help make our day a little easier. That idea just needs to meet us where we are.

There are some instances where a script is necessary. But most of us have the freedom to be our authentic selves on camera and speak what we know.
