Stop Doing This....
/WJZY (Charlotte) MMJ Lanaya Lewis was setting out for a solo live shot at 9:30PM and this happened:
Luckily, this seems to just be a case of a creepy guy in his pickup, but it could have ended differently.
I know stations want to save money, but when you start sending out MMJ’s to a closed school or business at night, it seems that it is not a case of if, but when this is going to not end well.
With the President and many others calling the media, “the enemy of the people”, no station should be sending a one-person crew out to go live like this.
Yes, a second person going out on the live shot for an hour, might cost a few extra bucks, but this is about the safety of your employees.
Stop doing this!
