The multimedia journalist I have chose is Abbey Niezgoda she is a Tv news reporter for the NBC Connecticut today. She enjoys reporting on breaking news, stories that inspire viewers along with educate the community, and viewers. One of her most memorable moments of her career was watching a 12-year-old paralyzed gymnast stand up for the first time after suffering from a mysterious illness.
On her website she has many videos of the stories she has captured throughout her time as a TV news anchor. All of her videos are effective and creates a personal touch that all viewers can understand. My favorite video she has on her site is the “Firefighters Funeral.” it shows true emotions of what visitors are feeling, along with the love and support firefighters from different departments even if they did not know him. Firefighters are a family they are all brothers, even if they are not know the firefighter that passed away. Abbey even explains a tradition that firefighters do with the remembrance cards in which place them in their hats throughout the ceremony.
Abbey truly hits every emotion within her videos, her tone of voice makes it you feel comfortable and allows you to stay in engaged in the story. I also like how she can cover all different kinds of news, rather than just one specific topic. It shows that she is well rounded and can relate to everyones stories. She is just located on her website, but she knows the importance of social media in which she has a huge following on both Twitter and Facebook, to keep her viewers updated on latest events occurring within their state, along with the United States.
Overall, I think Abbey Niezgoda is a very effected multimedia
journalist, she can capture emotion, yet can get straight to the point of her stories to make sure that her viewers get a clear understanding what is going on.
