"I consider myself a great story digger online and in person. I always find myself eavesdropping on conversations in public and asking people many questions in town, which helps people trust me, and also helps me find out what the locals are most interested in. While other news stations may only follow the stories and events that are widely advertised, I dive deeper and find the lesser known ones."
