A video that circulated widely online of a TV reporter in West Virginia being hit by a vehicle during a live broadcast was met with outrage by broadcast journalists who said it underscored the risks of sending reporters to cover stories on their own.
It was not clear whether the station had sent someone to report with Yorgey, who described moving the camera herself in an exchange with Irr. “I thought I was in a safe spot, but clearly we might need to move the camera over a bit, so let me do that,” she said. Thompson, who no longer works in journalism, said the video was the only thing people who have worked in broadcast news were talking about Thursday. “As horrified as the industry is, I doubt anything will change because local news is all about saving money,” she said.
Tuggle, who did “one-man band” shots in the 1980s, said that if someone had been with Yorgey, she still could have been hit by the vehicle because it came from outside the shot. The controversy was all too familiar to Alanna Autler, 31, who worked as a multimedia journalist for another news station in Charleston years ago. Autler said she would sometimes enlist help from friends, colleagues and even strangers to feel more secure as she reported from the scene of a crime or natural disaster.
