Seattle news breaks in South Carolina

Today I had to answer the question, how do you report on Seattle news that breaks in South Carolina?

Boeing was supposed to announce their decision about whether a new assembly plant would be built in Washington or in South Carolina. We were ready to run out and cover the announcement. Then, a wrench was thrown into our plan: the announcement was to be made on the floor of the South Carolina State Senate. They would have a live video cast online we had permission to use. We linked to it, and I recorded the audio. After the speech was made, I edited with audio with some of Mike Siegel’s images he made on a recent trip and voila! Multimedia reporting on breaking news. I hope every day of my new job here at The Seattle Times will be this fun.
