I've been in journalism for 30 plus years and have never considered a relationship with a cameraman or photographer and can only think of one such relationship, in which case the photographer was the female, the reporter male.

Guess that couple in Roanoke were just unicorns huh? Adam Ward (cameraman) was dating and engaged to his morning producer (female).

Uh, no. She was engaged to another reporter at the station, not the camera guy. Please get your facts straight.

Correct. The previous pp was ALL wrong. Each of them were in committed relationships. But not with each other. Previous pp is yucky for bringing them up in this context and having all the facts wrong.

Your "friend" has nothing to worry about, if the dynamic is anything like what I see here and amongst other colleagues.

Don't get me wrong; my cameraman does have a crush on me. It's really cute. He has a sweet wife who just never lost the baby weight from DC1 before she got pregnant with DC2. You know how it is if you're not disciplined.

But there's no chance anything can happen because I can do so much better. I'm guessing the same is true for your friend's boyfriend's reporter. We get offers from doctors, executives, and (in major league markets) pro athletes. Not to FWBs and flings with personal trainers, maybe hot firemen, and the like. It's fun to tease my cameraman but I'm not going to hook up with him. There's a HUGE difference.

Enjoy the fact that you still HAVE a cameraman. Because most smaller market stations are rapidly moving towards the MMJ/Vj/OMB/whatever it's called this week. And Princess Sparkle Pony's like you will soon have to carry all that heavy gear and shoot the story yourself, which is totally NOT glam. And you won't be getting many offers from doctors, executives or ballers because you'll be too busy doing two jobs to flirt with them like you do now. By the time you work yourself out of market 100-something, there will be no cameramen left.

I can't tell if this if it's funnier to assume this is satire or assume it is not.

(It is, right?)

She is worried her BF is spending more time with the reporter than her, which I suppose is true since they work together all day. The opportunity is certainly there. And he's known and worked with the woman much longer than he's dated her, so they're already very close.

On the other hand, I think the reporter would have higher standards, and could do better than a cameraman. But I don't know, that's just a guess.
