The Story Behind the Story

For the past four years, CBS reporter Steve Hartman and his cameraman Les Rose have been traveling cross-country proving that everybody does, indeed, have a tale worth telling with his “Everybody Has A Story” report. The process goes something like this: Hartman would stand in front of a United States map and throw a dart the map. Whichever city the dart lands in, Hartman and Rose would travel to that city. Upon arriving, Hartman would hit the nearest telephone booth and randomly pick a name out of the white pages. He would then, call that person and conduct a series of interviews with this randomly selected person and try to find a newsworthy story. Collectively viewed, Hartman’s reports represent a vivid first-person mosaic of real-life America.

This year, the Hilite Student Section will replicate Hartman’s reports within CHS. However, instead of throwing a dart at a map, we have altered the selection process slightly. We randomly generate a number between 1 and 4200. Whoever matches that random number in the Hilite name list will be interviewed. The point of this segment is to get more faces in the paper and to feature the everyday events in a typical greyhound’s life.
