A Candid Interview With David Begnaud

    A few nights ago I found myself working with another one of KTLA's new reporters.This time it was David Begnaud a per diem reporter out of Southern Louisiana. Right off the bat I could sense the enthusiasm he has for his job.
    When I work with someone like that it kind of gets me pumped up! I feed off the energy and I push myself to do more.Work is alot of fun when your challenged like that and it makes the night go by so much faster.
   David describes himself as an old school reporter with a strong work ethic.He says he has a passion for telling stories and truly loves what he does. I told him Iwas writing a blog at work and asked him if I could interview him for it . He said yes and I am glad he did .

KTLA'S newest reporter is a Hitt!

     Anytime you work with a new reporter for the first time there is a sense of apprehension. You never know if you are going to hit it off with them and sometimes personalities clash. Creative differences can make it difficult to work together, and belive me, when you spend 8 hours a day with that person in a livevan stuck in traffic day after day it helps if you can at least tolerate each other.
        Last Friday I found myself headed to LAX to do a live shot with Brandi Hitt the newest reporter at KTLA . I was alittle nervous at first but the minute she got in the truck we started talking trying to get to know each other and she is cool beans!
      Brandi began telling me about herself and how she became a reporter and as I was listening to her I 
said to myself "Self,grab your camera and start rolling. This is good stuff!"




Told ya she's cool!
I think Brandi is going to be a big HITT!!!
