I rarely ask a Telling the Story podcast guest to come back for a second episode. I like to spread the audio wealth and interview as many storytellers and journalists as possible to provide a full spectrum of perspectives for my audience. But when a previous guest wins a National Edward R. Murrow award with one of the most pristine slices of video I've ever seen, I can make an exception. Catherine Steward has captured numerous honors for her work as a photojournalist for WTVF-TV in Nashville. This may be her biggest yet. She took the Large Market TV station Murrow for Excellence in Sound, and the winning piece was a solo effort. Steward heard about a foundation called Strings for Hope that repurposes musical strings into wearable art, made by women who were formerly incarcerated with drug and alcohol addiction. In my earlier post about lessons learned from this year's Murrow winners, I wrote this about Steward's story: It's a beautiful concept, and Steward rises to it with an equally beautiful treatment. She captures crisp audio, whether on the Nashville streets or inside the string-spinning studio. Then she layers it in the edit with seamless fades in and out, musical and natural-sound-based scene switches, and pristine video to match. This piece is a winner, no doubt. But it's maybe the most instructive and practical for up-and-coming storytellers in need of inspiration. I decided to interview Steward for the podcast because of that final line. Young visual storytellers - photographers, reporters, or solo video journalists - should examine this piece for the myriad of techniques it includes. I asked Steward to deconstruct her story, scene by scene, nearly shot by shot, to give the rest of us a chance at producing something similar. So BEFORE YOU LISTEN to this podcast, watch "Strings for Hope" below. And follow along with Steward on Episode #64 of the Telling the Story podcast. →  The post PODCAST EPISODE #64: Catherine Steward, photographer, WTVF-TV appeared first on Telling The Story.

This is a special podcast. Normally I have one special guest from the news industry, offering insights about his or her career and advice for young journalists and storytellers. This time, I have four. Episode #48 is a compilation of some of my favorite clips from the past year's episodes of the Telling the Story podcast. I chose snippets that specifically focused on advice for those just getting into the business -- all from some of the best in the business at their respective positions. You'll hear from Jed Gamber and Catherine Steward, two photojournalists who in 2016 were named the NPPA's Regional Photographers of the Year for the East and Central regions, respectively. (Listen to the full episode.) You'll hear from Boyd Huppert, the 100-Emmy-winning, world-renowned feature reporter for KARE-TV in the Twin Cities. (Listen to the full episode.) And you'll hear from Joe Little, who provided great insight for both the podcast and my book, The Solo Video Journalist, which is a how-to guide for young MMJs like Little and myself.

#48: Best of 2016 (Jed Gamber, Catherine Steward, Boyd Huppert, Joe Little)

Awards season is underway in local TV news. Over the next few months, some of the most prestigious associations in journalism will present lists of winners and honor some of the best reporters and photojournalists in the field. Photojournalists Jed Gamber and Catherine Steward are off to a great start. This past week, Gamber and Steward each received one of the highest honors in the craft: being named NPPA Regional Photographer of the Year. Gamber captured the crown for the East region for his work at WBFF-TV in Baltimore, while Steward topped the Central region after a stellar year with WTVF-TV in Nashville. The award they won prizes consistency and versatility and honors an entire year's worth of powerful storytelling. Watch their work, and you will quickly see why: these two photojournalists care about awards far less than they care about their audience. Gamber and Steward are my guests of this episode of the Telling the Story podcast. →  The post PODCAST EPISODE #37: Jed Gamber, WBFF-TV &amp; Catherine Steward, WTVF-TV appeared first on Telling The Story.
