I love the fact they're doing something for the community, but what I think disturbed the whole picture a bit was the following:

This rachel girl just isn't much of a good reporter. I only watched HuK&IdrA, but she seems to be a little too shy in front of the camera and in fact was biased. Telling IdrA his memory is acknowledgeable is fine, but really, I as a viewer of those interviews do not care at all what she thinks about certain things. If you want to comment, get some casting going.

Still: I think it's great they covered so many players and such. Keep the work coming, keep improving.

I'd argue that we should have personalized reporters instead of robot-like reporters. I care what the personalities think, but, to each his own and there are going to be people who have differing opinions.

I don't think she was too shy, either. I can see why you'd feel this way, though.

To Rachel: Having your hair the way you do creates the feeling for the viewer that you may not be looking into the camera as much (because it covers half of your face). I'd suggest pulling your hair back, or straightening it and letting it fall flat (the pulled back approach is considered more professional, though)

Edit: Oh yeah, look at the camera more, not the person you're interviewing.

Approaching journalism on different levels is nothing to fight about, I guess - I personally would have liked it more if she just would have kept interviewing IdrA normally and telling him about how she feels about him later. Maybe I am just spoiled, but I just think if you are doing an interview, you shouldn't have people yelling the stuff you wanted to say at you or even express personal feelings. Then again, that is just me - I, for example, also had the feeling the interviews I have seen (HuK&IdrA, can only comment on those) were greatly focussed on the drama between the both of them. I would rather watch SC II interviews like Sport Center instead of some generic sudser. This obviously is a bit exaggerated, but you get the point.

Concerning her being shy: I just rewatched an interview and I figured it had something to do with the way she wears her hair. You pointed that out pretty well.

I can agree with you to a certain extent, and a lot of people are going to feel like you do.
