A Look Back: Ten Years of Storytelling
  • Voice: Dennis Morgigno, Jeanne Rawdin

We take a look back at some of the best stories the Insider crew has done over the last decade, as we acknowledge ten years of storytelling, community outreach, and covering local issues.


Operation Love Reunited
  • Reporter: Jessica Chang
  • Photographers: Shannon Valentine, Justin Renoud,Michael Spaulding
  • Editor: Jorge Corrales
  • Air Date: September 21, 2008
  • Website: http://www.oplove.org

For military families, saying goodbye and being apart from a loved one who is about to be deployed can be one of the toughest emotional challenges. And then there’s the tearful and joyful homecoming, when families are so overwhelmed with emotions they forget to pull out the camera. That’s where Operation Love Reunited comes in. The foundation connects up local photographers with families to capture their deployments and reunions in photographs.

Go Green Smart Cars
  • Reporter: Corrie Vaus
  • Photographer/Editor: Dan Roper

We've all seen them on the road, and envied their gas mileage. The Smart Car, as many people refer to it, definitely is a head-turner on our freeways. But just how fuel-efficient is it? And what about performance? Already a huge hit in Europe, we take a closer look at this vehicle as it gains popularity in the United States – from a consumer’s point of view.

Then and Now: Julian

Julian, in the backcountry mountains, is known today for its apple orchards and apple pies. But it was the discovery of gold in 1869 that caused Julian to become a boom town. We’ll trace the rich history of the town and the Julian Hotel, the oldest continuously operating hotel in Southern California. With old photos from the San Diego Historical Society we’ll see the difference between Julian “Then and Now.”
