A few staffers got a behind-the-scenes look at KGW News recently.
They were invited to attend the morning planning meeting, tour the newsroom and studio, meet with News Anchor and UP alum Brenda Braxton, chat with the investigative team and meet with the Digital Managing Editor. Here are some photos from the visit:
