This weekend we're exceptionally proud of the first story you'll see at 7:30pm and 9:30pm EST. It's the story of a very brave man named Ed who needs some help, and his friend who turned a missed deadline into an iReport that touched and inspired all of us. Eric will introduce you to both these guys on this weekend's episode of "News To Me" and, like Ed, you may see the world a little differently after wards.
As compelling as Ed’s story is, his isn’t the only story in the show this weekend. There’s a lot more to see on "News To Me," so without further ado… here are the links to all the raw video that made up this episode:

Kompakt Living on R.fm
Kompakt Living
We joined forces with one of our favorite entities, the Cologne based imprint/promoter/store and overall cultural hub that is Kompakt. We admire their subtle intuition in recognizing new pop music and their exceptional ability to converge and evolve. We made a home away from home for Kompakt on R.fm and furnished it with their latest dj and live mixes plus a collection their greatest music video work. The page will of course be updated regularly.
Welcome!

Back in December, iReporters provided "News To Me" with an almost TOO-close view of the devastation caused when a military jet crashed into a suburban San Diego neighborhood. The pilot ejected and survived, but, on the ground, one man’s entire family was killed.
I know I will never forget how I felt watching Dong Yun Yoon talking to the media the next day. It had only been hours since learning that he’d lost his wife, daughters and mother-in-law to the crash.

His press conference was one of the most touching and “real” things I have ever seen on TV.
"Horrible thing to happen" watch »
The Marines have been investigating what went wrong that day… and have determined a number of things, including deferred maintenance and faulty decisions by the pilot, contributed to the accident. Four people have been fired… and nine others have been relieved of duty.
