SALT LAKE CITY â For National News Literacy Week, FOX 13 pulls back the curtain and shows how news stories are created...from the very beginning.
The evening shift at FOX 13 starts with an editorial call, now done over Zoom because of pandemic protocol.
In the meeting, the FOX 13 team discusses events and makes a plan for the rest of the day.
In Sunday's meeting, reporter Sydney Glenn pitched her idea to spotlight "Vessel Kitchen" and how they've adapted during the pandemic.
Melanie Porter works as an assignment editor on the weekends at FOX 13. She monitors traffic cameras, social media outlets, makes phone calls, sorts through emails and helps to keep things organized behind the scenes.
