• Help to define the voice of the network and then work with talent, reporters and producers to make sure they speak the language we invent fluently
• Captain the control room (it's frenetic in there so if frenetic is not your thing, you should probably stop reading here)

weekends or late nights or after you've already put in a

doing a job that resembles this one, and at least 3 of
