Brynn Gingras Interview
You started your career at CBS in New York.
I was the CBS News production assistant in New York. We were the documentary arm of CBS News.
Was there a particular story that you feel moved your career forward?
There wasn’t necessarily a story I was doing that was charting my path. It was more about being around that environment at CBS. It was being around all these professionals. It was Dan Rather; you know, seeing him in the hallways. It was my mentor Jim Axelrod. It was being able to have those connections and kind of learn from them. I was watching their stories constantly and literally having conversations with them about where I should go; the next steps to take.
How did you know that broadcast journalism could be the right career for you?
I just enjoyed the craft of storytelling.
I knew I wanted to do it on a smaller scale. I teamed up with Jim Axelrod, went into his office, and said, “Hey, I heard you wouldn’t mind talking to me about how to get into this profession.” He was like, “OK, you can do grad school or you can go to middle America where there’s only 6,000 people living and start off.” .
I was done with school at that point. I just wanted to start my career. He (Jim Axelrod) helped me get into a program that made a reel in the old days, what felt like old days. He asked me if I knew where I wanted to live and I said I’d go anywhere. He said, “Are you sure? I was like, “Yes, I’ll go anywhere.”
I had an Excel spreadsheet of every city in America that I was willing to go to. That’s how I ended up in Missouri.
That’s when you started at JW Broadcasting?
I was there for four years on camera, doing local news reporting.
Is there a story you did that really worked out, in your opinion?
A lot of them. When you’re thrown into local news,you’re covering town hall meetings. You’re covering small town crime. I’ve always adhered to the law enforcement beat, which is what I became passionate about.
Why law enforcement?
It’s the whole gumshoe reporter chasing of some sort of crime element. There was a story I had to work really hard to get, that honed in on my investigative journalism skills. It was a Sheriff trying to cover up a crime in mid Missouri. It was the first time I was having to hold officials accountable.
Now you’re at CNN. You started in 2016. Was CNN a dream job for you?
Yes, it’s the next level of reporting. It affords me the ability to go across the country and do what I love doing. It’s the reason I got into this job.
Is there a story you connected to the most at CNN?
I do the law enforcement beat a lot. We have a franchise called Beyond the Call. It started to counteract what was going on in Ferguson; all the disclosure with the police and the protests.
We do it to really highlight the heroism. It’s not just law enforcement – we’ve done firefighters and more. I love covering those stories because it gets back to the basics of what I enjoyed doing which is storytelling and learning more about people. They’re in this fascinating profession. I think those are probably my favorite.
That franchise alone makes me feel good about going to work because it just allows me to highlight people who really deserve stories.
Let’s talk about a story you’re working on now.
I’m working on Weinstein right now. It’s been a lot.
A lot in the sense that it’s something every day. At the same time, it’s so fascinating, it’s exciting. Being a woman covering it makes me feel empowered. I think we’re in the middle of a movement that’s going to be incredible; to see how it turns the tide of women in the world.
For Weinstein, I’m covering a lot of the investigation that goes into the cases that are here in New York and to see if, hopefully,.. he has his day in court.
Why do you think women are speaking out more now?
We feel empowered. We’re talking with each other. We’re understanding that we’re not alone. I think that’s huge.
I know for a fact that sexual assaults are incredibly underreported. We should be supporting each other. It’s sad that it’s taken this long. This is something that we can unite on. It’s only going to improve on how we are to each other.
I know for a fact that sexual assaults are incredibly underreported. We should be supporting each other. It’s sad that it’s taken this long. This is something that we can unite on. It’s only going to improve on how we are to each other.
Yes, I think so. I just try to forge relationships and try to find a level to connect on.
Over the years of covering stories, I’ve just learned to trust my gut. It’s about trusting the feeling you have that something isn’t right and figuring out why. That’s kind of fun.
For someone wanting to enter broadcasting, what’s a lesson for them?
Get outside your comfort zone, whether it be traveling or moving or talking to someone who isn’t like you.
Finally, what kind of journalist do you want to be known as?
I want to be known as being honest, fair, and accurate in portraying the story as it should be.
I take great responsibility when I meet somebody and put them on camera. I know that’s not comparable for everyone. I constantly follow up: from an interview with a lawyer to someone I’m doing a feature on. I follow up with them to see if I could have done it better. Or see how could I have made them more comfortable. There’s a huge responsibility in learning the truth and portraying someone.
I don’t want anyone to ever think that I was unfair.
