Take a jog down memory lane with all of us at Clark County Today
CLARK COUNTY — Much can occur in just one year.
Often times, more than we can remember on any given day. Such is the reason we take a look back and reflect on how many adventures and discussions, triumphs and tragedies, minutes and seconds we spent living each day in our community.
This is our Year in Review, video and film style, from ClarkCountyToday.com. We have uploaded more than 700 videos since our launch in 2016. Each and everyone tells the story of a person, place or event in your community.
Our goal is to become ever-better at reporting, filming and editing the highest quality stories out there. In 2019, we learned new techniques, grew our equipment, reenvisioned our weekly newscast, and told stories full of passion and curiosity.
As technology and our skills continue to evolve, we are expectant and excited about the possibilities the future of Clark County Today video holds. Our hope is to display the vibrance of our community and share with you, the reader and watcher, the tales of good days and bad, great people and organizations and most of all, bring you visual news with integrity.
Happy New Year from all of us at ClarkCountyToday.com. We’ll see you in 2020!
