To start with, the headline is a bald-face lie. He is not a television reporter. He's not on the air reporting from the scene. He is taking pictures. That makes him a cameraman.

There's a chance, though slim, if a major event happened, he would be on air.

Gordon Davis was a reporter. They were talking about it on News4 the other day. he has been one for 10yrs.

Good job on that one though.

EVERY OTHER link I have clicked on Google News refers to him as either a WJLA "Employee" or "cameraman."

I was on the WJLA website this morning that says he was a reporter.

I thought they said he was a Camera man.

 

[mv_princess]

They talk about him on the video. Watch it.

 

[flomaster]

Oh and did you read the part about him being born a woman? Amazing.

Oh I am sorry, Ponytail just informed me that he screamed like a woman when he got hit and not that he was a woman.

I believe the correct usage is 'I couldn't care less'.

When the video plays it says Our reporter, Gordon Daivs.

Oh. I didn't wait for the video.

He still screamed like a woman.

He still screamed like a woman.

a woman reporter or a woman cameraman?

 

[Ponytail]

woman cameraman?

Is that PC? or possibly a transexual...as Flo eluded to earlier. Ah HaH!

Will you stop screwing around! It is a big deal cameraman or a reporter!

Hard to tell. Camera was in the air, I heard a woman scream, but saw no woman... I'm so confused.
