In Reply To: don't just settle on bringing back the same ol' lame-ass story. Or maybe the sexy angle was there, and you are just not good enough to get it. Maybe you left the meeting with a chip on your shoulder because everyone had to tell you what the story was, so you purposely didn't get the angle they wanted. Yup, I've worked with you in many, many different markets. your days are numbered until you figure out how to bring in the story they are after OR, bring your own GOOD ideas to the meeting.
Message: i've worked with a few like you, too, producers and EP's who stack a show, then beg, cajole even threaten reporters to make the story match the rundown. that is the mark of a true amateur. but, we'll see you in news director land soon, i'm sure.
