His calm-under-duress work helped our sites be a timely source for readers on all of our news sites, and he continued to update the story and photos as they were available. He did this throughout the evening, working in collaboration with others to help FCC sites provide up-to-the-moment coverage. Our news websites, and Sunday e-papers, were better because of his efforts.” Please join us in thanking Hunter for all his hard work! 📰 📺
