Amid all the expensive camerawork and sharp matching windbreakers on the major TV networks? coverage of Monday's tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, the best dispatches largely came from local TV news.
In the Times, Brian Stelter quoted John Welsh of KFOR, the NBC-affiliated TV station, eyeing the ruined landscape from his helicopter and repeating the word ?gone? as he realized how many local landmarks had been leveled. CBS-affiliated KWTV had a helicopter hovering over the scene less than 15 minutes after the tornado. And two of the most memorable clips were Emmy-winning KFOR reporter Lance West choking up via phone as he ran toward the demolished Plaza Towers Elementary School, and then again on-camera while standing in front of the ruins. ?I understand they are going to start pulling these tiny victims out of the rubble here shortly,? he said during the latter report, fighting back tears. These moments could have felt false on a bigger network. On KFOR, though, they rang true. And the emotion did not make West's report, which was full of useful, vivid details, any less attentive or substantive.
