Journalists are committed to their community and sometimes they get a chance to demonstrate that with their actions.
Dan Plutchak, Social Media and Digital Content Manager at WKOW-TV in Madison shared this story:
Reporter Jennifer Kliese and photojournalist Matthew Anderson were covering flooding in a rural area of southern Wisconsin. They pulled onto a closed road to edit video for their on-air story when Anderson saw a washed out gully in the road ahead. As he walked up to grab video, he noticed a car had driven into the gully. More surprisingly, a woman was inside.
Anderson set his gear aside, called 911 and climbed down to be with the woman until emergency crews arrived.
