News To Me: Las Vegas

"News To Me" hit the Las Vegas strip for the show this weekend! What better backdrop for a show about citizen journalism than a city where everyone has a story?

Speaking of stories Eric has some DOOZIES to tell this weekend on "News To Me." He'll introduce you to an idea man in search of a man with a plan, take us behind enemy lines in Afghanistan and into the world's largest gadget convention! It's our version of a splashy Las Vegas show... except it's free and Eric won't be wearing a sequined jumpsuit. At least not for the whole show...

More pics from our shoot on the strip :

Ahhh Paris in January. Zee Arc de Triomphe… She is beautiful, no? Honestly, why spend the money on an international flight to shoot "News To Me" in France when we've got a reasonable facsimile in Nevada?

We had a "guest" cameraman in Vegas. CNN photojournalist Ferre Dollar filled in for Teague. He's been all over the world with his camera. We are all really jealous of his frequent flyer miles balance. In fact, as soon as we were done in Vegas he turned around and headed for Washington D.C. You'll be seeing some of his work next week on HLN from the Obama Inauguration.

Have you heard the term, "chasing daylight?" We say it a lot while shooting "News To Me." Basically it means that we have to hurry up and get the shot because the sun is going down. We always shoot "on location" so we always rely on natural lighting... in the pic above, (from left to right) Coordinating Producer Mike Kane, Eric and Ferre are trying to work out how (or if) we can keep going as the sun begins to set on the strip. You'll have to tune in this weekend to see if we made it before dark!
