National
Association of Black Journalists and Arizona State University students and
former students ask banquet guest speaker and presenter Tamott Wolverton,
Channel 12 News photojournalist and videographer questions about his
career in professional journalism. Covering
the news can be rough. The
reporter never knows what he/she might come across in covering that story.
The calm and confident multi-media journalist Wolverton reassured
the young journalists.
"Don't
be scared", said Wolverton.
He went on to encourage the young soon-to-be-graduates to
"listen and watch". Computers
and equipment will crash, but the "news has to go on" and
sometimes the best advice is just to deal with the situation.
Mr.
Wolverton demonstrated how one person can be a mobile television station.
The equipment Mr. Wolverton is using is sending the real time
(live) images to the Channel 12 camera equipment to this year's NABJ-ASU
graduating students and members of the audience.
