Just in case you don't know what an MMJ or multi-media journalist does, Campion's bio will fill you in, "He prides himself on covering all aspects of a story from shooting, to writing, and editing the pieces."

Speaking of KTRK, I'm getting lots of emails in about new weekend anchor Natasha Barrett. I believe this past weekend was her first time for her to be on her permanent shift. She started out the week before Easter anchoring the 11am news during the week.
