COMMENTS: The Splendid Speaker
Doral Chenoweth, videographer for the Columbus Dispatch, found his newspaper a viral hit, when he snatched a soundbite from a panhandler, holding a sign: "I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times." Chenoweth "kept the film and waited for a slow news day," was how CBS' Seth Doane told the story. Ted Williams' golden pipes are now known nationwide. Doane summarized the story from WNCI-AM in Ohio; NBC's Kevin Tibbles narrated a voiceover--in a baritone that is not quite so lush--from Chicago. Tibbles' account disagreed with Doane's: he maintained that Chenoweth did not sit on his scoop, rather that the dispatch.com video got 5m hits "within hours."
