SPEAKERS

Alanna Delfino, @Alanna_Delfino 

NPPA POY Finalist: “Photojournalism Roundtable”

WBFF – Baltimore, MD

Behind her lens, Alanna Delfino finds the special moments needed to turn any kind of news into a good story. As a photojournalist at WBFF in Baltimore, she consistently produces honest, creative and one-of-a-kind stories daily. While shooting day-turns fuels her news heart, working on creative, long-form projects is her true passion.

Alanna is a 2015 (Y55) student graduate and credits the NPPA news video workshop for an early on success as a professional in local news. Since joining WBFF’s photography staff in 2016, Alanna has consistently placed in the TV Quarterly contest, won her first Regional Emmy and co-produced her first mini documentary called “Aftershock,” which documents the deadliest year per capita in Baltimore City.

During her final year studying at University of Maryland’s Philip Merrill College of Journalism, she worked as an overnight news editor at WUSA9 TV in Bethesda, MD and after graduation, transitioned to a full-time editing coordinator at WJLA ABC7 in Washington, DC. She says, that if it weren’t for her connections made at college NPPA events, she would have never landed a shooting position in a top storytelling market.

In 2017, Alanna joined UMD’s Merrill College adjunct faculty staff, where she teaches an intermediate news reporting class to undergraduate students. As an instructor, her goal is to educate students on the simple knowledge that quality video, crisp natural sound and subjective sound bites will lead to a well-rounded story. Alanna credits much of her success to professional mentors and hopes to be the same guiding light for her students.

“Surviving and Thriving as an MMJ”

KNSD – San Diego, CA

Joe Little is a television news journalist at KNSD in San Diego, CA.  He’s a proud Multimedia Journalist and often travels the country with his Garden Gnome teaching his strategies for better storytelling, on-camera performances, and time management.

Joe has been awarded 11 Emmys and was a finalist for the NPPA’s Photojournalism Award for Reporting in 2017.  His creative stories have taken viewers as far away as Pakistan; to a story completely contained inside a dumpster.

Joe’s mantra: “If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it.”

It has served him well since 1999 as he zigzagged across the country as a television news reporter and anchor with stops in Hagerstown, Maryland; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; San Diego and Carlsbad, California.  Joe has taught journalists and students from around the world how to improve their visual storytelling.  He joined the faculty at the NPPA News Video Workshop in Norman, Oklahoma in 2013.  Coincidentally, that was also the last year Joe used a stick mic.

His coverage of the 9/11 attacks is among Joe’s greatest accomplishments.  He was four miles away from Shanksville, Pennsylvania when United Flight 93 crashed.  Joe was one of the first reporters on the scene.  His accounts are included in a book called Covering Catastrophe: Broadcast Journalists Report on 9/11. Joe’s expertise has also been included in a number of journalism textbooks.

Joe received his Masters from Syracuse University in 1999.  But he credits George Mason University with building a strong foundation for his career.  In 1998, he earned his BA in Speech Communication.  While at Mason, Joe was a proud member of the Men’s Basketball Team (Career Totals: 2 points, 3 rebounds).  In 2010, the Department of Communication and the College of Humanities & Social Sciences named Joe the Alumnus of the Year.

NPPA POY Finalist: “Photojournalism Roundtable”

He’s a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University and started his career at WBKO in Bowling Green, KY. He’s the recipient of 11 regional Emmy Awards and 14 first place Associated Press Awards for work he wrote, shot and edited. He’s an active member and strong proponent of the National Press Photographers Association.

Forrest believes in visual, emotion-driven storytelling that emphasizes the uniqueness of the person and situation at the center of the story. He thanks the Kentucky News Photographers Association for arranging for the governor to officially bestow him the title of ‘Kentucky colonel.’ This designation has made him, yes, Colonel Sanders.
