It's one thing to read about the incredible effort put forth to cover Hurricane Sandy, to keep our stations on the air, our presses rolling, our websites live and updated, and our businesses operating. It's another to get a first-hand account of what people went through to do it. Thanks to Jeff Pinilla at WPIX, you can. In his 20-minute documentary, THE FIRST 36 HOURS: An inside look at Hurricane Sandy (now available on Vimeo), Jeff presents "...the story of what a local news team has to go through to get their story on the air. In this case, the story is Hurricane Sandy, the biggest storm to hit the east coast in recorded history." It's already earned a Vimeo Staff Pick badge. All that's missing are your likes.
