No sports guys here yet. Their shifts tend to be later, to coincide with sporting events. #behindthescreens http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsrkfcuIIAESPp_.jpg

.@ChrisProffitt having trouble getting an interview for his story today. Too many potential sources busy/out of town. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:03:39 PM
Often we have more sources than we can use, but other times, like with @ChrisProffitt today, it's a struggle. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:05:10 PM
I asked @ChrisProffitt at what point do we panic. He said we WILL get a story on the air. "The clock is ticking," though #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:08:23 PM
While waiting for calls back, @ChrisProffitt has gone to a drive-thru. "Gotta eat when you can." #behindthescreens #solidadvice

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:11:46 PM
TV news is often an "eat when you can" type job. Anything can happen anytime, gotta be prepared to jump into action. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:13:21 PM
On web staff, we have laptops that we must take home in case of breaking news. We can log in from home and work. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:15:14 PM
We know which reporters/anchors live on which side of town so in case of a major story, we can call who's closest. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:17:06 PM
I'm going to answer some questions that we received via Facebook. In case the tweets seen random, that's why. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:23:13 PM
What goes into setting up for a live shot? I hope to show you soon. Planning on @ChrisProffitt live at 6. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:24:31 PM
No stylists for our on-air people. They look that good all on their own. Choose their own clothes and everything! #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:26:32 PM
Q about internship program. Our interns are paid and do actual work. Opportunities listed at scripps.com/careers #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:28:09 PM
Q: Why aren't we reporting all the problems citizens contact us about? Short answer: resources. We do as much as we can. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:31:51 PM
There are a lot of story tips/suggestions that we look into but there's not enough info. We want to report responsibly. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:33:17 PM
We open every email and answer every phone call, but there's no way every idea can make it to TV. We do our best! #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:34:59 PM
Q: What are ex-news/weather people up to? A: Hmmm. Depends. Wondering about anyone in particular? #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:37:18 PM
Q: Why do we track storms on air through Hamilton County but dump out of coverage for other areas? Short answer: We don't #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:38:38 PM
We stay on air for tornado warnings anywhere in our viewing area. Sometimes we might drop coverage after a storm weakens #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:40:47 PM
Q for @MarcMullins1 and @BethVaughnRTV6 : what time do you go to bed & get up to be on air at 4:30? #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 5:44:23 PM
Evolving tech=always learning. Photog Paul just set up his first FaceTime "shoot" #behindthescreens http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BssGhIoIcAAFzQ1.jpg

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 7:29:59 PM
Yes, that's a MacBook sitting on two reams of paper. #hightech #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 7:30:47 PM
The newsroom gets busy this time of day. Dayside crews come back to write/edit, nightsiders are just getting started. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 7:44:53 PM
Got the FaceTime interview, but there's no audio. Airtime is about 2 hours away. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 7:49:09 PM
These problems make good drama for this twitter hijacking, but I wouldn't wish this stress on my worst enemy! #behindthescreens

Another dept of @rtv6 : creative services. Steve is editing vid from @KevinGregoryRTV weather camp #behindthescreens http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BssNLFnCcAAMNIz.jpg

Can I interest anyone in some way-old footage from our creepy, poorly-lit basement? #behindthescreens http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BssOBGdCQAAnWmZ.jpg

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 8:02:46 PM
I've made it to the Master Hub. We run signals out of here for @EWScrippsCo stations. Just renovated! #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 8:04:46 PM
.@EWScrippsCo stations across the country go through "The Hub" #behindthescreens http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BssO_SSCMAAejkb.jpg

Great #behindthescreens peek into life at @rtv6 from Kelly Patrick Slone today via @wearecityvoice

by Laura Holzman via twitter 7/16/2014 8:10:49 PM
I'm usually tied to my desk. It's a nice break to actually use the stairs/talk to people from other @rtv6 depts. #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 8:16:14 PM
I warned everyone that I'd be creepy today. Still, coworkers are wondering why I'm taking pics and asking about their jobs #behindthescreens

by We Are City [VOICE] via twitter 7/16/2014 8:17:37 PM
You see the newsroom shot every evening. This is our perspective. #behindthescreens http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BssZbi8IEAATS3U.jpg
