Paul Newberry, sports writer, Atlanta, produced a multiplatform breaking news package when former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick held a workout for fans. Kaepernick had been scheduled for an NFL-arranged workout at the Atlanta Falcons training facility, but the quarterback switched signals at the last minute, working out at a high school 60 miles away.

Colin @Kaepernick7 threw passes for 8 NFL team representatives in a workout relocated last minute.

“Our biggest thing with everything today was to make sure we had transparency in what went on. We weren’t getting that elsewhere, so we came out here.”https://t.co/gAYiyTh0fB pic.twitter.com/dkOSxe1WKP
