A sudden silence fell over the group and two or three of the girls shook their long hair down over their nametags. "Where should we go next?" I sighed...
...miniature devices can be taken practically everywhere. They eliminate the processing time required for film and reduce the amount of equipment and manpower necessary to put live stories on the air. They promise to make TV crews nearly as mobile-and unobtrusive-as a reporter with his notebook...
