Blake Farmer was in Mayfield covering the story for NPR. In the aftermath of the tornadoes, the station was doing what it does best, with reporters on the ground and in-house collecting and updating vital information. Many of us, including myself, have already contributed reporting to the daily newscasts you hear in the morning and afternoon. (Plus a few new ones you may not be familiar with yet.) Our show team already sits in on the morning news meetings, and we keep up with what the news desk is following via Slack. What does exist is the WPLN news desk - all the reporters, hosts and editors you already know.
For those who might have missed the news breaks that morning, or just wanted the latest information, This Is Nashville would have been the place to get caught up on tornado coverage and remind listeners of available resources, while beginning to talk about next steps.īut of course, our show didn’t exist yet. As the weekend came to a close and Monday, December 13, rolled around, news was still developing. Probably the most obvious example of this would be the multi-tornado outbreak that hit in December. Here in the pre-production phase, there have already been many occasions on which one of us on the This Is Nashville team has exclaimed this, either in a meeting or text exchange.
