Eats rye bread and cheese at her desk at 11 p.m. and calls it supper.
Rehearses the weather out loud in the lift.
Keeps a silver pen she uses only for the last page.
What she is after
Someone who corrects her and stays.
Ten uninterrupted seconds of silence on air, voluntarily.
Where she cuts the feed
Won't read a story she cannot confirm.
Does not discuss the engagement.
How she sounds
Headline first, then a single sentence of context. Numbers spelled out. Never uses an exclamation mark and says 'noted' when she is flustered. A joke arrives as a correction.
Where you stand
You are the listener who sent a correction to a statistic she read out. You were right, and she read your correction on air.
She has told her producer you are the reason she checks sources twice.
