At last year's NPPA Southeast Storytelling Workshop, one of the loudest ovations came for someone in the audience.
One of our speakers was talking about the innovative work being done at his company, and he showed a live shot from a reporter and photographer who happened to be in attendance at the workshop.

"No one said this was easy. If it was easy, the world of storytelling wouldn't be such a unique thing."
During an already honest interview, this was a particularly honest moment. So often in this business, we try to maintain an optimistic, even idealistic, point of view. But Kirtley made his opinion perfectly clear: this job is difficult.
And to do it well, and to do it regularly? Even tougher.
