This week I'm pleased to be able to bring you several stories that you won't find anywhere else. Most notable is Wendy White Polk's interview with the Tigua governor, Albert Alvidrez, which explains why the tribe decided to produce the half-hour documentary that it plans to air this week on El Paso TV stations. This may be the first media interview ever with this governor. Historically, the Tiguas have kept a low profile when it comes to the media.
Interviews are rare and difficult to come by.
Wendy may have had a bit of an inside track on today's interview, since she wrote the script for the video. Wendy's husband, Jackson Polk, has an El Paso based video production company called Capstone Productions. And when he landed the contract to produce the video, he naturally wanted the best writing talent he could get to handle the script. Wendy has tremendous broadcast writing experience. She was 22 years at the NBC-TV affiliate in Washington, D.C., including a decade as assistant news director managing a staff of 100, before she and Jackson decided to escape the Beltway.
