ABOUT THE DESK

Why the station keeps an intake table at all.

KRNL-TV survives because neighbours, projectionists, camera operators, organisers, bored night-shift workers, and people who happened to notice the wrong van at the right hour keep feeding the desk fragments of a bigger picture.

Some notes become crawls on tonight's broadcast. Others sit in folders until a producer can line up footage, witnesses, and context. Not every tip becomes a segment, but almost every segment starts here.

Use an alias if you want. Leave it out if you do not. The point is the story, not the ceremony.
