Reporting the News and Weather

Funny that I have lived in the Chicago area for 23 years, and have never seen the news being reported, yet twice in a few days' time, I saw a Channel 7 weather reporter and the night news team reporting.

I think you have had an extra cold snap haven't you? Very intriguing to see.

[Nicole Campbell]

Great shots to capture the news

[Junko Y]

@dkbarnett -- coldest new year on record! We're finally inching warmer toward the freezing line.

[Rachel]

Brr, pity the poor news reader that has to report the weather from outside. Great shots.

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic picture.

[KWind]

Cool!!

[Tom]

Great captures, especially like the top one

[Taffy]

What a great pair of shots! And you capture the feeling of how cold she had to be standing and waiting for her turn on camera.

[Louise & Ken]

This is excellent, but I'm amazed you haven't run into the likes of this before! OK...Lunenburg is a bit smaller, but I've had several oppportunities to photograph reporters in town with all the trucks and equipment! The folks are always approachable and interesting to talk to! (One time I was asked if I thought they were at the best location for the story they were going to do!)

[Junko Y]

@Weezilou -- you know I live in the suburbs so al the action is typically downtown!

[Lynda McG]

Great shots! Looks so cold

[Casablanca]

What fun to finally spot them then!

[Joan Robillard]

Cool

[Henri Russell]

Great diptych. I can never understand why they have to be outside in the cold, rain, snow etc. To report the weather and news.

[Marnie]

Great diptych, interesting contrasts in there. I've never been able to work out why the channels send their weather reporters all over the place when the same report could be given in the studio.

[Pam Knowler]

Great images! I am always asking my sister why the weather and news people have to stand outside in terrible weather? It’s as if they think we won’t believe them if they are in a warm studio!

[Walks @ 7]

Brave souls, both for being outside and in front of the camera.

[Milanie]

I often wonder how they stand out there - or why they stand out there - when it's absolutely freezing. Made an interesting diptych.

[Rosie Kind]

From the weather reports we have had, it looks as though Chicago is very very cold!!!! I'm glad I'm not there at the moment LOL Fav

[Ukandie!]

Great documentary shots! She may well be standing in the same spot this week reporting on the swing of temperatures!

while here in Australia we had record highs a few days ago.
