Message: In my dealings with News Directors, it seems to me that the majority are just people who couldn't hack it as reporters and knew that they couldn't move on. I'm not putting that down, I'm just stating my opinion. Then, it seems those "reporters who couldn't hack it" somehow get hired on as News Directors and take an oath to live out the rest of their days making the lives miserable "through fear" for everyone they supervise. Unfortunately, that is just the way it is at some places. Fortunately, it isn't the case everywhere, so there is a small ripple of hope. Either way, what makes me feel better is knowing this simple fact: NOBODY gets in to this business with dreams of being a News Director. It is basically a backup position that people who can't cut it in other positions DREAM of getting.
