SEASON 1 / Episode 2: The Future Of Journalism

What is it like to become a news anchor?

News is dominating our lives as we watch the information about COVID-19 change daily. The news anchors and journalists keep us informed about how this virus is transforming our lives forever. News shows are our lifeline during this unprecedented time. 

We watch the news daily for our COVID updates, but do we know what happens behind the scenes? What is it like being the broadcaster reporting on this tough topic 24-hours a day? What are the positive stories the news teams are witnessing? How is the work-at-home model changing how the newscaster presents essential information. On top of this, these are regular people reporting on the news; they are human just as much like you and me, and how are they dealing with challenging subject matter daily? I want to know how the news teams cope with COVID-19? 

Find out all the answers from my guest Breakfast Television’s Morning Show Host Mary Cranston. I met her years ago in the early years of my broadcasting career. Now she is a host of the Breakfast Television morning show and knows what it is like to be in the media and dealing with COVID-19 at work and daily life when she goes home after work.
