Local television newsrooms are often chaotic with breaking news and even routine stories spreading news crews and reporters across a wide geographic area.
All are gathering news for both digital distribution and broadcast purposes with multiple and constant deadlines.
Someone must coordinate this mayhem and that person in the tri-state area of S.W. Ohio is Ramsay Fulbright, the Assignment Desk Manager for WCPO 9 News. He daily is sending reporters and photographers to stories across Cincinnati, SW Ohio, Indiana, and northern Kentucky.
Once the news is gathered, Ramsay also leads a team of assignment editors who feed the news products to various producers of multiple local television news shows every day.
Experience pays off for Ramsay. Over the years, his news judgment has been honed by his time as a news photographer.
Prior to jumping to the assignment desk, Ramsay spent 11 years as either a photographer or the head photographer at stations in Arkansas, Tennessee, Arizona and at his home station of WCPO News 9 in Cincinnati.
He lives in a fast-paced professional world, but he relishes the challenges. He boasts that no two days are the same and that the variety makes his job fascinating.
