Coffey time

This past Friday, one of my best friends in the business stopped by to talk to my first and second period classes. Tim Coffey is a longtime videographer for WKYC channel 3 in Cleveland. I worked with Tim at the old WAKC TV 23 on Copley Road in Akron. I first met Tim when I interned at 23 and then I got to work with him again when I was hired at 23 to be a sports/news producer. Tim and I covered many stories and shared many good times.


Tim told the kids that it's unrealistic to go after a single job. People coming up in the field need to be diversified because the field is constantly changing. Tim is a rare bird in that he has been a videographer for about three decades. He has seen it all.
