Mike Browning Anchor Reporter Television News is first and foremost about public service.
All news is local.
Viewers of television news, while increasingly disenchanted and even disinterested with local news, turn to evening newscasts to stay abreast of the days lead story. Obviously, grabbing viewer's attention with important and relevant stories that touch their lives is critical to both service and success. Television news journalists and photojournalists must be driven by the desire to serve the viewers appetite for important, useful and controversial information that is balanced and accurate. Without balance and accuracy there is no credibility. Lack of credibility is damaging to success.
