The newsroom here at WKYC is busy, but quiet, with an interesting tension as they go live with an 8:00 p.m. debate special; WKYC staffers that met with us all looked slightly edgy as the clock rolled around to air time. I guess this was a really big deal here.
They’re proud, and they should be: they’ve done a heck of a job setting this up.
Rita Andolsen, WKYC’s News Director, had this debate plopped on her lap virtually at the last moment, and the level of organization here is impressive. The relative quiet of our meeting room, right off the main news room, is vibrant with conversation as Paul Thomas prepares for broadcast from this very room.
Right now.
Look alive.
