A time for reflection

As 2018 comes to a close and we prepare to ring in the new year, I find myself once again taking time to reflect on not only my accomplishments but my shortcomings this year.

I find this process to be especially helpful in continuing my momentum in moving forward and growing into a better person day-by-day and year-by-year.

This past year has brought many great accomplishments to my life.

I took second place as your reporter/columnist of the year, beat out by the legend himself…Bob Flynn from WCSR Radio Hillsdale (I’m coming for you next year, Bob!). This is special to me as it is you, our readers, who make this decision and I am proud of the work I am doing to keep you informed of the local, often times breaking news, you care most about.

This December was also my first national television appearance. On Dec. 16, I appeared

Dirty John scores massive ratings: What this could mean for Dirty John Season 2

Dirty John seems to be a massive hit at Bravo with the third episode of the first season airing this past Sunday on Bravo. The second episode aired just last week and it was the network’s highest-rated scripted telecast ever.

The numbers were in the double digits from the series premiere, which aired just two weeks ago. Bravo reports that the ratings for the second episode were up 20 percent total, with viewers falling around 2.5 million.

That makes Dirty John the largest episode 2 growth in any new ad-supported cable scripted series in 2018, which is rather impressive considering the show got mixed reviews. These facts were all shared in a press release from Bravo.

Dirty John stars Connie Britton as Debra Newell, who

An honorable milestone

It’s hard to fathom how far this journey has taken me and the things I’ve witnessed and accomplished.

Friday marked three years in service as your crime and emergency services reporter for The Hillsdale Daily News.

I couldn’t imagine doing anything else with my life, although I have to admit before the fall of 2015 I never contemplated going into media.

As I’ve done in years past to commemorate my work anniversary, I’ve taken time to reflect back on this past year and the stories I’ve covered.

Overall, I have no hesitations in saying this has been my most “violent” year as a news reporter.

The amount of homicides/shootings this year in the relatively calm and quiet Hillsdale County is astonishing to me in comparison to years past.

One of the memories I’ve made this year that will stick with me for a lifetime is sitting on the side of Territorial Road Aug.

Video Interview with Oxygen’s Cori Abraham

Cori Abraham, the senior VP of development, production and international at Oxygen Media, sat down with TV Real to discuss the network’s programming filter and highlight some of the channel’s recent successes as well as what’s in the development pipeline.

Oxygen Media has long been a destination for female-skewed content catering to a diverse audience. Last year, the Oxygen network made a full-time shift to crime programming, with a slate of unscripted originals that includes the flagship Snapped franchise, The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway and much more. Oxygen is available in some 77 million homes and has a presence across multiple platforms.

The Secret TV Producer: from creation to consumption, women are killing it in true crime

The Secret TV Producer is i‘s industry insider. In this new series he’ll be exploring what today’s TV trends and obsessions reveal about Britain

There was a time before Making a Murderer when true crime in US TV circles meant shows like the Discovery ID network’s Fear Thy Neighbour. This kind of TV follows a very simple formula. Over an hour, including ad breaks, someone kills or maims someone they know, the police investigate with redoubtable professionalism, justice is served by the relevant authorities and a bad person is sent to prison or strapped to an electric chair and humanely toasted to death.

You won’t find a lot of mystery in this kind of TV. Another Discovery ID series, Wives With Knives, tells you in the title who died, who did it, and how. There’s seldom much detail either: once you know who died and who did it, all that matters is how and why; and these programmes

Nearly seven years ago on the afternoon of December 18, 2011, bubbly 23-year-old Phoenix Coldon backed out of her St. Louis-area driveway to never be seen again.

A few hours later, authorities found her car on an East St. Louis street still running with her keys in the ignition. While the college student’s glasses and shoes were in the vehicle, Phoenix herself was nowhere to be found.

Frantic to find out what happened to their beloved daughter, her parents, Goldia and Lawrence Coldon, pleaded with law enforcement, but the investigation was slow to start with the national media paying her story little mind.

Sadly, as many of us know, the type of treatment Phoenix experienced isn’t new or rare when it comes to African-American women who go missing. Too often, national news ignores and

Crystal Mangum ‘Snapped’: Durham woman in Oxygen TV show …

I don’t know how this one slipped past me: Durham’s Crystal Mangum was the subject of a “Snapped” episode on the Oxygen network earlier this month.

Mangum, of course, was the dancer at the center of the Duke Lacrosse scandal from 2006. But “Snapped” is primarily concerned with her 2013 conviction for the murder of her roommate and boyfriend Reginald Daye, who Mangum stabbed in 2011.

The episode features news footage and interviews with Durham Police Department crime scene specialist Al Brown, WRAL crime reporter Amanda Lamb, Raleigh attorney Joseph Cheshire V, friends and family members of Mangum and Daye, and others.

The episode aired on Oct. 7 and has been in reruns, so you can still catch it on TV. But if you can’t wait for the rerun to roll back around, you can watch online at Oxygen. It looks like it will be available online
