The Power of Media
Or maybe it should be the power a good story.
Many of you may not know but along with being part of the OrangeRoc creative team, I also serve as a Tech Sergeant in the Hawaii Air National Guard, working as a Broadcast Journalist for the past 8 years.
This month has been busy one for me, having spent 3 weeks away from my OrangeRoc family in support of Hawaii Air National Guard operations. I am truly grateful for their support.
The second mission of the month involved documenting marijuana eradication missions on Guam with the DEA.
There were several moments I really could not believe what I was doing. I had fun shooting and editing in such a challenging environment, but the trip for me would have been useless if the news of this mission did not go anywhere, and it was important that the message got out. Once the “news package” got approved for release, I was able to upload to the Military’s video distribution site where the “package” got picked up by the Pentagon News Channel, a news program with 5.8 million viewers. Now that’s a lot of eyeballs looking at my work.
HooRah!!
