Security Story Hits Air Tonight

Today I'll be pulling a 12 hour day, making sure every word, sentence, video element is ready for tonight's broadcast. Here's the promo for tonight's story.

Countless hours of surveillance, following people around, and paper cuts from looking at court documents all boil down to tonight's report that I estimate will run nearly four minutes long--an eternity in broadcast news these days.

Usually, every five seconds, there's a change in video when you watch a tv report. Today, I'll be watching photographer Jeremy Fine cut hundreds of shots during the editing process. We have the challenge of taking seven different tapes, each with at least 20 minutes of video on them, and whittling them down into my report. It's very time consuming, tedious, but necessary.
