The newly FOX News Deck with emphasis on social media will fuses coordinate real-time news feeds, digital media newsgathering and social media sources with advanced, state-of-the-art technology.
Shep’s new program will provide viewers with the opportunity to become more involved with how news organically develops, according to Michael Clemente, Executive Vice President of News.

Previously, he’s worked for WJHG-TV in Panama City Beach, Florida, WCJB-TV in Gainesville, Florida, WBBH-TV in Fort Myers, WSVN in Miami, and as a reporter at WCPX-TV (now WKMG-TV) in Orlando.
