A Local TV Story That Touched America This Year

While many people criticize local TV news for covering too many vacant house fires and corner car crashes, there are still many great stories that never get a national audience. Earlier this year, there was a local story produced as a general assignment news story that had America talking… and even crying. The story from the local TV station aired on many national news programs. Take a look.

It was such a basic story… no fancy graphics, no fancy edits. The KING reporter and photographer succeeded with a big challenge for many reporting teams. They captured the emotion of a young boy’s love for his soldier father… and communicated it. We were lucky enough to see it. Thanks for recognizing that you had a great story and for sharing it.
