The Assignment of His Career
/
KSLA (Shreveport) Reporter Michael Barnes did a live shot for the station from the airport where he said, “I’m about to cover the story, maybe not of my lifetime, but of my young career…”
Let’s see if you can guess what the story is.
Was he headed to Ukraine to cover a local group that is helping the troops fighting against Russia.
Headed to the White House to talk to President Biden about the latest COVID surge.
Following a group of local scientists that are pitching a cancer cure in Chicago.
Headed to Sarasota, Florida, because the Ringling Brothers Circus will soon be coming to town.
Give yourself a gold star if you picked No. 4 as your answer.
As for me, I’m not worried about where he’s headed, I’m worried about where TV news as a whole is going.
Just saying…
