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. You can see some of my previous "fun" videos on this YouTube page. |
I use Twitter and Facebook to share news with others too. It is fair to say I am always "connected." I also have a LinkedIn account. I think social media helps me connect with viewers and can enhance the way we tell stories and communicate with others. 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. Whether it is a story about crime, traveling with World War II Veterans on an Honor Flight or covering a Friday night high school football game, stories are about PEOPLE and always should be.
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.
I invite you to browse my page. You will find clips from stories I have done, creative projects I have worked on and some of my favorite stories.
