Coming at you a day earlier than usual to give you the 411 on this weekend's special show: The <B>"News To Me" 2008 iReport Special!</B>
Check out a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2008/12/30/ntm.ireport.special.part2.cnn";>sneak peek</a> at this weekend's show <b>right now</b> on <a href="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2008/12/30/ntm.ireport.special.part2.cnn";>CNN.com</a>! We're always saying that <a href="http://www.cnn.com/ntm";>"News To Me"</a> is all about YOU. Your stories, your video, the events that YOU witness and catch on camera! This weekend "YOU" are the <a href="http://www.ireport.com/people?range=12&start=0&view=superstar";>iReporters</A>. <B>"News To Me"</B> would not, could not, be the show that it is without the stories you uploaded to <b>iReport.com</b>. Over the past year <a href="http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/lanford.eric.html";>Eric</a> has introduced us to some <a href="http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-2225";>enthusiastic citizen journalists</a>, <a href="http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-104822";>fantastic characters</a>, <a href="http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-138201";>passionate opinions</a> and <a href="http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-153268";>incredible video</a> that all came from <a href="http://www.ireport.com/ir-topic-stories.jspa?topicId=8853";>iReport.com</a>. This weekend he's whittled that enormous group down into a tight 30 minute showcase of <b>our favorites from 2008!</b> Here's just a few of the highlights from The <b>"News To Me 2008" iReport Special:</b> iReporter <b>Alekz Londos</b> (iReport user name <a href="http://www.ireport.com/people/PSYCHOSiiS";>PSYCHOSiiS</a>) took us inside the heart of a wildfire… and believe us when we tell you, it’s the closest you’ll ever want to be to the real thing! The Sichuan earthquake in China killed over 69,000 people. Even while aftershocks continued to shake, iReporters like <b>Ben Geisler</b> (iReport user name <a href="http://www.ireport.com/people/bmgeisler";>bmgeisler</a>) were in the field bringing us some of the most in-depth reporting and amazing pictures of the devastation... including a look at some of the rural areas that were hit hardest. Call him iReporter. Call him what we call him: <b>"Mister Twister."</b> He'll even respond to his iReport user name: <a href="http://www.ireport.com/people/WCNreporter";>WCNreporter</a>. His real name is <a href="http://www.coasterworldnews.com/v2/?cat=media&page=player&address=DECEMBER%2031ST%202008%20.wmv";>William Bernstein</a>, and he provided some of the best video of the violent weather that devastated the Virginia area earlier this year. It’s not all gloom & doom… You'll also see some of the more entertaining iReports such as one man’s take on “bio-fuel” – a postal worker’s bad delivery caught on camera - up close & personal with <b>the bulls of Pamplona</b> – and see what happens <b>when Baboons rampage!</b> It's an iReporter-palooza this weekend on <b>"News To Me!"</b> Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. & 9:30pm. Sunday and Monday at 12:30 a.m. and (the <i>"Holy Toledo! Is it 2009 already?"</i> editions) at 5:30 a.m. Oh, and please say Hi to our new weekend neighbor <a href="http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/clark.howard/";>Clark Howard!</a> His brand new show premieres on <a href="http://www.cnn.com/hln";>HLN</a> Saturday at Noon! <b>Thanks for watching <a href="http://www.cnn.com/ntm";>"News To Me"</a> in 2008!
