Hi everyone!
Hey Everybody
Hello Hello from Sunny San Diego! :)
Hello everybody
Hi everyone,
I also want to let everyone know that we will need to change the time for our weekly roundtables.
We've got a new daily production meeting at 2:30 p.m. so We don't want to have a conflict.
We'll start doing it at 3 p.m. ET on Thursdays.
congratulations on your movie debut Chris
I did! I'm about 75% done with mine... I'm going to have it up today... get ready to laugh
Hi fellow iReporters!
Thank you Asiegel1202 :)
hI ALL
@KyleHD -- Thanks for sending the iPhone App walk through. It was a very thorough review.
@Aseigel1202 Hah! Can't wait. Maybe Team iReport will have to try out your suggestion.
And big congrats, @ChrisMorrow! We absolutely loved the video greeting from all the iReporters. It made us so happy to see everyone together having fun.
@davidw Thank you! The app is really cool!
Hello everyone.
The CNN iPhone application rocks! Loving it.
Congratulations Chris Morrow! :o)
:) Thank you Katie.
Have to include the wonderful iReport Producers!
Loved your yoga photo :)
Thank you JoyfulGypsy! :)
Congrat Chris! Is the movie posted or avail for purchase?
What's on the agenda today?
@JoyfulGypsy -- That's a good question. Everybody saw that next week's meeting is canceled, right? So our next meeting will be Thursday October 15th at 3:00 p.m. ET.
hi friends, what are we talking about today?
How many hours is left to the start of the roundtable because my time differs?
@Davidw - Thanks for the heads up. 3:00 PM works better for me. :o)
@Nonso001 -- We just started. Welcome. Where are you talking to us from?
@everyone -- I was going to start out by asking everyone what they're working on.
:) Thanks Ewillies1961 - I need to secure more licensing from CNN to show their footage any other place than the San Diego Film Festival. If I get it done soon, the Underwater Film Festival in Marseille wants it asap as well as a few others. Crossing fingers.
@everyone -- If you have any questions or issues that you want to talk about, go ahead and shout them out.
@davidw The obesity assignment
How about putting up some fresh assignments. Some have been up way too long and have exhausted themselves.
@davidw - interviewing Jaimie Foxx tomorrow.
Any suggested questions?
@davidw tomorrow I'm heading downtown to the Olympic viewing party, so I'll have an iReport from there. The I may have one on Saturday from Newsapalooza! I've been working on the Driving and Distraction iReport this week as well!
Where's Tyson?
Hey guys.
Had a video conference lined up for common ground that the person postponed twice. I am still hoping to get it if the project is still opened.
Also my sister is a doctor and dean at a medical teaching school and she has been passing me quite a bit of information that I may use in a subsequent piece.
I finally finished my PSA on texting and driving. Have you seen it yet?
@kylehd - Olympic viewing party - Sounds like fun!
@adriana Yes, it looks very professional! Well done.
@EWillies1961 Cool, what kind of Doc is she?
@adriana71 i did, I watched it this morning! nice job!
@JoyfulGypsy -- We've got some new projects in the works, in fact we just launched a new one about people who are stuck in the past http://www.ireport.com/ir-topic-stories.jspa?topicId=335338
We've kept a lot of our assignments up because our producers are working on turning them into content.
We don't want to launch too many new things when we're not ready to work on them because they'll just get stale too.
@adriana71
Pediatrician.
Thank you, My husband had his debut.
@JoyfulGypsy We've had a lot of new assignments lately -- obesity, distracted drivers, not to mention all of the major natural disasters overseas! Keep in mind that we're a small team (especially this week -- a lot of people are out of town) and we can't work on too much at once!
@ChrisMorrow I'm so excited! The energy is so built up! it's either going to be Chicago or Rio de Janeiro. I've been kind of iffy about having it here but I kind of hope we do get it now!
@adriana71 -- I saw part of it and was very impressed that you scored police car for background.
Hey everyone! I'm eating salmon for lunch.
@Ewillies1961 A kiddie doc, the best kind.
@davidw -
Any news on the Guilty Pleasures category? Is it still a go?
Thank you, davidw and katie. :o)
@adriana71
Just looked at you PSA. You really are a natural. Hey CNN you guys need a new "paid"
reporter on your staff :).
I've seriously stepped up my physical training. I'm training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro next year. Lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks by simply carefully eating healthy, running, working out, etc. I'm working on strength and endurance. Maybe this grandma will even go for the NY marathon next year. ;o)
@adriana71 -
great job on the psa.
@ChrisMorrow Your guilty pleasure videos have been great! It's a long-term project that CNN reporters are taking on too, and we're trying to figure out the best way to showcase them all. We've been brainstorming some ideas lately and will keep you posted.
@davidw A police car, a rescue rig and a fire truck. Local pd and Fire Dept were very keen on having spot like this on. And it's also my shortest iReport ever.
@JoyfulGypsy -- We're always looking for interesting stuff on the site, so if you have an idea that you think is interesting, don't wait for us.
A lot of times we decide to make assignments after seeing cool submissions from y'all.
@adriana71 Hooray for keeping it short and sweet! Very TV-friendly :)
@everyone Thank you guys so very much. I'm glad you guys liked it.
Thanks @Katie -
Should I continue them? Jamie Foxx tomorrow night or start something new? Maybe ask him about twitter?
@Chris - I think those questions are great, but feel free to ask new things, too. Whatever you think is interesting! It's always cool to hear from celebs about topics in the news, and that's a good way to get on CNN.
@katie I should have saved the bloopers. I had a bunch of firemen, EMTS and paramedics having a good laugh.
@davidw - I had an interesting idea that I shared with Tyson. However, I never heard back from him.
@adriana71 I love bloopers I've started a blooper reel of a bunch of my bloopers, when I have enough I'll post it! haha
@JoyfulGypsy -- We're still working on that. We're getting back with NY folks to see what's possible.
@kylehd - You have great ideas :)
fun - bloopers!
@davidw - Thank you so much. That's all I needed to hear.
@KyleHD Yeah, I should start doing that too.
@ChrisMorrow thank you! lol, i get so mad at myself it's funny to watch sometimes!
@everyone I've got to call an iReporter for an interview, so I've got to head out. Thanks so much for being patient with such a small staff this week! I'll see you guys next week at the new time.
Ciao Katie
@davidw - I'm lining up Plan B, if things don't work out - so please keep me posted.
@everyone -- Actually, she'll see you on the 15th at the new time. I'll try to send reminder that next week is canceled, but not sure how much Internet access I'll have.
I'll at least tweet about it.
@everyone -- that reminds me, does everyone know about our twitter account? You can follow us at twitter.com/cnnireport
We'll follow you back, so we can hear what you're up to too.
Oh, if anyone is in Chicago this weekend, you should come to our Citizen Journalism/iReport Meet up at Newsapolooza at Park West at 7:30 on Saturday!
@KyleHD -- Sounds fun. Should be an interesting weekend.
Anyone out there want to meet up in New York City?
Is anyone from Seattle? I'll be there in a few weeks!
awkward silence!
I'd love to meet you guys in NYC and Seattle :)
There in spirit for sure!
@everyone -- I think it's so cool that these meetups are starting to happen all over the place. It's great that iReporters are getting to meet each other.
If anybody's ever in Atlanta, let us know and we'll try to arrange to have you by CNN Center and give you the tour.
@everyone -- Anyone have any other questions or issues? Did we cover everything?
@davidw i think so, at least i have nothing else to share! i'm gonna head out! hope every has a great weekend! See y'all soon!
Have a great day!
See you again on the 15th at 3:00 PM. Have a great day, everyone.
@everyone -- I'm going to go too. We'll talk to you next time. October 15th at 3:00 p.m.
Take care.
C U L8tr
@davidw - By the way...if Atlanta works better on your side than NYC, that would be fine, too.
glad that the time will work better...we get out of school at three!

It would really be nice to tour CNN center someday
