Art's going to do just fine. He's a hard worker and has a tremendous voice as well. |

It's not hard-- what it does require is intelligence. It requires that you know EVERYTHING going on at all times, across the board, and are prepared to make a stand as to what's important and what's not. That's much more difficult than being "tough," it's tricky and demanding and thankless-- the smartest and most informed person in the newsroom should be on that desk- unfortunately they're usually not.
