It’s hard to resist the temptation to tap that notification knowing it’s going to be somebody saying something really flattering about you.
It’s hard to look away from it, too, because it’s overwhelmingly positive. I’ve had to turn off notifications for pretty much every social network that I’m on because my phone is constantly lighting up. How does it feel to have your work capture the attention of millions online? This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.Ĭongratulations on your videos going viral and, even more importantly, resonating with people. We spoke with Shearer recently about his newfound internet fame, how and where he finds his story ideas, and the magic and madness of chasing hyperlocal stories. Approaching strangers for years seems to have stripped away any hesitancy to interview them for a story - much to his station’s benefit (Shearer creates different versions of his stories for TikTok and the radio).

He has a knack for street interviews, capturing millions of views through a goldmine of quotes from locals on hyperlocal happenings, like this recent story about the closing of a Dunkin’ Donuts in the town of Stow a devastating loss for some residents. That’s because Shearer’s work has become a viral sensation among Massachusetts residents, and probably even - if we’re being honest - among Boston-haters. “I was not so sure that TikTok was the best platform for our station, but boy, was I wrong.” “And then they asked me to get the station TikTok going and I was like, ‘Oh, boy, here we go,’” he said.
