Inexperience or Incompetence?

It snowed. By some accounts, it snowed a lot. This is Northern Indiana, it does that from time to time.

While the talking heads on TV call this a "weather event", for most Hoosiers, it's merely another pain in the neck that comes with living here. 

To "journalists" though, this is a "life event" which must be reported on because the TV news folks regard their audience as a bunch of rubes, completely incapable of understanding what a moderate snowfall means.

To wit: a "journalist", reportedly from WFFT, sets up a camera on a tripod in the middle of Coliseum Boulevard to file a report. Yes, in the middle of traffic on one of Fort Wayne's most busy and congested thoroughfares during a time when most Fort Wayne drivers are not expecting to see a human and camera tripod in the middle of traffic. 



The Maven is unclear on the concept of putting an employee's life in danger, simply to tell a story of rather obvious explanation. It snowed. How unique and compelling is that? Could not the shot be taken in a more safe manner?
