My name is Lauren Squires. You can call me a storyteller, because that's what I do. My current title is Reporter/Video Journalist but I'm really a jack of all trades. I am an expert in shooting, editing and writing my own stories. I have been in Television News for nine years. It all started when, at 17, I took a job as a production assistant at KCRG TV-9 in Cedar Rapids. From there, my passion for photography and video grew into an understanding of storytelling, working on a deadline and producing content daily. In eight years I have served as a reporter, news and sports photographer, anchor, producer, web reporter, intern, and production assistant. And I have worked at five television stations (KCRG-TV 9, LCTV-13, WMC TV-5, KWWL TV-7 and WOWT TV-6). I love shooting and editing so much, that I do it in my free time. Producing videos, films and story lines that are based on events in my life and others. I love it so much I do it in my own time. My husband and I run Forever Ready Productions.

I use Twitter and Facebook to share news with others too. They are POWERFUL tools to engage with viewers and gather story ideas. I also have a LinkedIn account that I use mostly to make professional connects. I think social media is vital to the daily life of a journalist. I believe the more we engage people, the better journalists we become and the more connected we can be to our community.
I enjoy covering local news because I believe it impacts people's daily lives and makes a difference. It's all about IMPACT, INVESTIGATION and INSPIRATION. Those are the three things I focus on when I tell stories.
One of my greatest strengths is my creativity. I take a creative approach to my storytelling that uses video, sound and demonstrative stand-ups and live shots to tell a story. I am an extremely hard worker, who will not accept average. I thrive in a work environment that constantly challenges me to improve and become a better reporter and person.
