One of my journalism students drew my attention to this collection of memorable local US news segments of the year.
My favourite is this clip from Fox 8 in Cleveland. The reporter attempts to make up for a lack of pictures by using a cardboard cut-out re-enactment for a story about a recent string of black bear sightings.
(This can’t be real, can it?).

Best line: “This recreation identifies how witnesses say the bear escaped in the woods.” I’m still howling with laughter. I also loved how the “bear” was climbing the tree.
