Counterterrorism publication, behind the scenes

Tamara Pratt was always one of my favorite reporters to work with at News9. She’s now at the MIPT in downtown Oklahoma City, and says she’s busier with this gig than she ever was in the TV biz.

Tamara called me last week, said she had an idea with 9/11 approaching. What if we created an “Ask a terrorism expert” page with video online? Sounded like a great idea and we went to work.

Thanks to Nick Tankersley, Marcy Williams and Alan Herzberger at NewsOK for knocking out the Web page. Kyle Roberts and I, along with Paige Dillard’s help, shot the interview at the MIPT offices on North Robinson on a rainy Wednesday afternoon.

Tamara set up an interview time with Donald Hamilton, the executive director. He has no shortage of knowledge about his job. The Oklahoman’s Augie Frost showed up and agreed to go on camera for the interview.

Went out to NE 10 where the media is staging, or being stage, to cover the OKC police officer involved shooting. Took Tanner Herriott his laptop. Believe it or don’t, wifi at that area. That’s awesome.

Grabbed his footage from his drive, dumped it onto to my laptop, did a quick standup with Augie Frost from The Oklahoman and came back to The Oklahoman. Edited together a quick package for a noon update from the scene.
