People are always like, “Do they do your hair and makeup?” “Where’s your camera guy?” “Do they write and edit your stories?” So here’s a #BTS look at my ~*glamorous*~ life as a #tvreporterFirst, I show up to the scene with my photographer the vampire who doesn’t appear in photographs. Jk it’s just me. After interviewing and shooting video, I go back to my office (the car’s backseat) After taking a quick lunch, I race against the clock in the middle of nowhere with not potty breaks. Then, my glam team comes and fixes my make up 💄💋 (still moi)Then I realize it’s dangerously close to the newscast and my video is still sending and then I die a little inside. Then, it’s *~show time*~ and in today’s case, I go live for 4 newscasts for both sister stations at 5pm & 6pm.The end! Just kidding, there’s still a 40-minute ride home, and a web article story to write.
