Dallas Escorts: Journalist in Crisis Learns the Digital Ropes
The silver lining in the digital transformation of journalism? “The people fighting this right now, especially in broadcast, the people who say, ‘Don’t ever ask me to do that,’ this is really going to weed them out — the people who just want to be on TV from the people who are real journalists. The real journalists, you hand them a camera, they’ll say, ‘Sure, I’ll go shoot that fire.’ The newsreaders who just want to be on TV, they’ll say no, they don’t want to ruin their outfits.”
Of course, it helps that the cameras these days are smaller and cheaper yet can still capture audio and video close to professional quality. Aguilar recently took her Sony (NYSE: SNE) Cybershot camera with video capabilities and, parlaying her deep Rolodex of law enforcement sources, went on an unusual prostitution sting with Dallas police. Those arrested were given the option of enrolling in an innovative rehabilitation program designed to keep them off the streets. Aguilar turned it all into a compelling digital slideshow with audio that she produced for free for PegasusNews.com, a North Texas-based hyperlocal news Web site.
