LOVED seeing Cleveland on the big screen!
When your kids are named Clark & Bruce… a Superman (or Batman) movie is a family event. 😁

Such a fun visit!
So unbelievably happy that my amazing friend, Kurtis Ming, is now at KCRA 3! One of the best journalists now at one of the best stations!

Channel 3 was the first station I worked at (as an editor) and where I fell in love with journalism. The job changed the course of my life.

This was my first time in the station in 30 plus years. Kurtis and I dug back into the archives and found tapes I edited in the early 90s. 😁

I’m thrilled to learn Hearst Televsion is investing in preserving history by digitizing their archives. 👏👏👏 It’s broken my heart to see other companies not properly preserve their old tapes (past stories).

Fun blast from the past running into producer Steve Mellish! We were editors together.😁

Rare access and so cool!
J Comm had the incredible opportunity to film inside the San Jacinto Tunnel for an upcoming doc!
This 13-mile tunnel cuts through the mountain and plays crucial role in delivering water to Southern California.

Overheard an employee, who's worked for Metropolitan Water District for 30+ YEARS, say this was his FIRST time ever getting to go inside!

The documentary will celebrate Eastern Municipal Water District’s 75th anniversary and its fascinating history.

👏👏👏 to the journalists committed to accuracy.

Great event discussing how to inform the public on what’s real and what’s not in this age of misinformation.

Exceptionally timly going into the elections.

Kuddos to The Valley of the Sun Chapter of Society of Professional Journalists & The First Amendment Coalition for putting on the event.

Excellent job by the organizer Morgan Loew CBS 5 and all the experts and journalists who participated in sharing best practices in data analysis and fact checking to ensure the public has access to accurate information.
