KTUU-TV has been awarded the NPPA (National Press Photographer's Association) Small Market Station of the Year.
Again.
And furthermore, Scott Jenson, our Director of Photography, has been awarded, for the second time, the Ernie Crisp Television News Photographer of the Year....the number ONE tv news photographer in the ENTIRE NATION.
THAT is why I came to this station. A station that dedicates itself to excellence, to not settling, that there is always better.
Quote me now: my single goal for this entire year is to have one (1) story on our Station of the Year entry tape for next year. If I work hard enough, practice enough, learn and retain as much as possible, learn my sequences, maximize my natural sound, and never settle, I believe in myself enough to accomplish this goal. If I do not accomplish this goal, there is absolutely next year. And, no matter how much I sound like a Sox Fan right now, there IS always next year.
*click on the grey player that says "Poynter Videos" and scroll up and down to see the video you'd like. (definitely check out anything that says "Scott Jenson" and "Small Market Station of the Year' on it...as well as many others, because all of these videos are worth a look, and a second and third look.
Aunt Judy (not that you have computer...) - stick around for the whale story...I know you were instrumental in getting "us kids" on that whale watche so many years ago...

Also on the webpage that the first sentence is linked to is Shawn Montano, Director of the Cutting Edge Seminar (I have been lucky enough to meet Shawn and to hear him speak about editing at two of the past three seminars). Amazing conferences. Shawn won Video Editor of the Year. Shawn is a great guy - congratulations to him for his prestigious award!! Also, congratulations go out to Matthew Rafferty, as runner-up Video Editor of the Year, whom also has presented at the Cutting Edge Seminar, and whom also is a great, great person.
