Back in 2004, Cleveland, OH newscaster Sharon Reed took part in an art instillation by photographer Spencer Tunik, know for taking photos of nude participants in public spaces (some of which got him in trouble with the authorities).

The difference here, of course, is that Ms Reed not only covered the story, she was a part of it, being one of the many people who was nude for said installation.

As the images below show, Ms Reed had some trepidations about being naked on camera, and, indeed, nearly backed out when she saw camera crews from rival Cleveland stations. But she summoned her courage, stripping down completely on camera, and joined the throng of other nudes for the massive photo shoot.

Talk about profiles in courage!!👍
