Film Director: Make Room For Disabled News Anchors
Film Director: Make Room For Disabled News Anchors
NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) If a New York-based group of disabled reporters has its way, the next CNN anchor might be mentally handicapped. Hows Your News?, a five-person team of handicapped reporters, is out to prove its reporters can do just as well as Peter Jennings or Connie Chung. To spread the word, theyve made a feature-length film featuring their unique interviewing style which consists of approaching random people on the street and asking questions like Hows your hamburger? or Hows your sports? Director Arthur Bradford followed the Hows Your News? team while they traveled across the U.S. interviewing everyone they met. Bradford says hes gotten lots of criticism from folks who say hes exploiting the team for laughs, but claims hes doing it because he knows the would-be anchors love what they do. Hows Your News? hits independent theaters this summer.
