20.) Brian Champagne, broadcast news cameraman and communications professor

Brian Champagne has created a mini-documentary every day for the last 20 years. Some might say that television news doesn't constitute any sort of documentary, but some people are just cranky that way. He claims his work in television news contained far more truth than anything Michael Moore has ever produced. Brian has worked at NBC, ABC, Fox, and CBS affiliates. Most of his work was behind the camera, but he has done on-camera work in Sacramento, Calif. and Salt Lake City, Utah. He served as Chief Photographer for Fox in Sacramento where he tried to keep the photo staff happy, while not necessarily annoying management. Brian earned his Master's Degree in Communications from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, and he now teaches television news journalism at Utah State University. He still works for all Salt Lake network affiliates on a freelance basis. His current favorite movies are “Groundhog Day,” at which he marvels at how efficient it must have been to make, and “Blues Brothers,” at which he marvels at how expensive it must have been to make. Brian Champagne appears on the Considering the Sequels Podcast as the special guest for the June 2011 BONUS episode on News Media & Journalism Movies.
