There has been a run on camera and audio equipment; there may not be anything to buy right now. Local news already runs on shoestring budget, so I suspect their reporters have to make due with what they have on hand.
- tyingq 7y agoEven with that in mind, they could do some handholding. A bit of helping their reporters with lighting would improve things, for example. I do see the shortage on webcams, but good (or at least better than a laptop built-in) microphones seem still available.
- wayoutthere 7y agoWhy do the handholding when viewers obviously don't care? The average local news viewer is something like 58 years old. The low quality production values make it feel like the reporters are struggling with technology along side their viewers; it's a good look for them.
