VJ in The White House
Life at the top
If there was ever any doubt about the 'reality' of VJs in the world of journalism, this should put a stop to it.
TCA grad David Besemer sent me the following link to The New York Times.
It's a profile of Arun Chaundhary, the Official White House VJ.
There was at time when there was an official White House photographer.
They were generally drawn from the best photographers in the country.
One of the very first VJs I ever trained was David Kennerly, the White House photographer for the Ford Administration.
David's first piece went on Nightline
We were trying to prove a point.
It would seem that we no longer have to prove anything to anyone,
least of all to the President of the United States, who seems to accept that VJs are not only here to stay, they have a place in the White House.
How much better can it get?
