A local television news operation can be, and often is, a powerful change agent for good.
I wrote that line in an earlier article about how a new image campaign from Global News in Canada is using its news team and resources to make Toronto greater.
Since then, I’ve found some stories here in the U.S. from local TV news operations that are making their communities a better place by their investigative reports, like the one from WPRI in Providence, R.I., about its hidden camera investigation of a local fire chief that apparently showed him smoking pot and drinking.
Who knew fire chiefs could behave so badly?
Now comes the story from WDRB, Block Communications’ Fox affiliate in Louisville, Ky., of a fire chief who tries to stop a lady reporter and her camerawoman from covering an open meeting on questionable spending by the chief.
And as bad as some fire chiefs may act, we can always be confident that when the firemen do show up at a fire, the fire hydrants will behave the way we expect them to. Well, not always. This story from the CBS O&O in Dallas, KTVT, reveals how many fire hydrants in the North Texas area are out of order.
First the promo and news story from WDRB, then the promo and news story from KTVT.

I’m having some challenges getting this video to embed and we’re working on it. In the meantime, you can see the story by clicking here.
