This is an edition of a WTIU/WFIU Indiana Newsdesk segment that I produce monthly.  For this segment I conducted interviews in addition to writing, editing, and filming B-roll footage.  Our team covered the zoo’s 50 year anniversary celebration.  The segment includes an interview with the Indianapolis Zoo’s Public Relations Specialist, Carla Knapp.  We had a lot of fun filming around the zoo and getting a behind the scenes look at the zoo’s mission of animal conservation.
