Although you don't see many people here, this can be a hectic area. Many news stories require multiple graphics; some of them animations. It takes a great deal of talent and time to produce them.

For special projects, John and his team also serve as set designers. They work under tight deadlines. This is an exciting and complex profession. How are you doing on the latest graphics software version?

News Director Bob Morford is in charge of the whole news department. Dealing with all of us is enough to give him a headache.

Part of our business is to work as a team, where members of different departments work well together. This daily need is reflected in the open design of the building. Here the upper conference room overlooks the newsroom.

Nothing in TV is accomplished by a single person. It’s a team effort, from reporters to editors, from videographers to graphic artists, from camera operators to engineers, from tape operators to assignment editors.

From sales staff to a receptionist, from traffic associates to a web site director, from interns to the cleaning staff, from an accountant to the general manager -- everyone contributes to the success of our station.

Most of the people who work here you’ll never see or know but without their daily expertise, nothing that you see on TV would be possible.

A large mural is a collage of most important moments for the station, our city and the nation. Here you see Al Shottelkoette with Walter Cronkite, Martin Luther King Jr., Paul Dixon, Mort Watters and Uncle Al with Captain Windy, Lawrence Kinley and the clown.

Other murals includes pictures of Pete Rose, John Glenn, JFK, Chopper 9 and the 9-11 firefighters at the World Trade Center site.

Each reporter and producer gets a standard office cubical. Keeping their work area neat and clean might have inspired the HGTV series "Mission Organization."

Six large monitors suspended over the assignment desk keep us current with the competition.

In the middle of the newsroom we installed a field camera for "live" breaking stories. We use this camera often when the new information arrives into the newsroom.

After all is said and done, we archive most of our news stories in this small video library. Not all the stories make it to these shelves.
