Join a team of broadcasters from Buffalo's WGRZ-TV for "Reporting on Hurricanes Harvey and Irma: Buffalo Broadcasters in Texas and Florida" on Thursday, October 5, at 12:15 p.m. in Bulger Communication Center East.

What can a television station do when a hurricane hits the city? The show goes on—with help from reporters and technical crews from other stations in the broadcast group. WGRZ-TV reporters Michael Wooten, Jeff Preval, and Danny Spewak and photojournalist Ben Read will discuss their experiences reporting on Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, along with director Sarah Zamer and audio engineer Ed Silverman, who were based in Dallas at WFAA-TV, where the broadcasts for KHOU-TV Houston have been controlled since Hurricane Harvey. KHOU's on-air talent is based in temporary quarters in Houston.

The panel discussion, presented by Buffalo State's Communication Department, is free and open to the public. For details, please contact associate professor Deborah Silverman or assistant professor Joseph Kasko.
