Stories come from everywhere

What a busy night! We had local, we had national, we had local and national intertwined while others originated from the social media world.

2 Cavs fans met on a Cavs/Basketball social media website....and the boyfriend decided to pop the question in front of so many other Cavs Fanatics! It began at a pre-game shindig at the Hard Rock Cafe....afterward, they all marched over to the Cavs game where, in front of everyone, he pledged his allegience and undying love to his honey for all to 'witness.'

The next few stories happened elsewhere but have Cleveland ties.

A friend of mine from out of state emailed & facebooked me with a tip that a student at John Carroll wound up dying over the holidays in Philly....the student went home for the holidays, and while at a frat party, fell. Unfortunately, he passed away days later. I still find it amazing how the wheels turn when researching and piecing together a story...

After receiving the tip, I checked with Philly while Chris Tye handled the John Carroll end of it, being a grad himself. It all came together nicely, though such a very sad story.


Another big story with both local and national ties which broke was the daycare shooting down south....the father killed was from Beachwood. Well, there was an arrest in the tragedy, and again, we had to check all our angles to make sure we had the correct information.


As you can see, a story can come from anywhere--contacts near and far--now the social media world, but must always be checked out before anything goes on air or online.
