d. I wear block colors—no stripes, frills, or green. We use green screens to superimpose artificial backgrounds, so a green top wouldn’t show up against a green background.
e. You have to deal with breaking news as it comes in, but I have a lot of backup: a fact-checker makes sure all the details are accurate, a copy editor ensures the scripts sound natural, and if I become tongue-tied or mess up on air, I have the director in my ear.
It’s a fast-paced job, but I love it! Anyway, what have you been up to? Let’s catch up soon!
Love, Emma
