Nine continues shift to Washington bureau despite shooting
An idea to create a Nine Washington DC bureau that began with Peter Harvey will come to fruition this week despite Nine’s correspondent having been shot with a sponge bullet by riot police in Los Angeles.
Reporter Lauren Tomasi, who will staff the bureau along with a camera operator, is flying out of LA on Thursday to set up shop a few hundred metres from the White House.
When Mumbrella spoke to Tomasi after the shooting, she said she had continued to work until 2am the next day, doing live crosses to Australia about her experience.
