A great reporter should not only focus on attacking the darkness but also on promoting the light. Combining both, complementing each other, is the only way to let oneself and the public breathe, to comfort and give hope alongside the anger.
When dealing with the black and white of the world, a reporter should be fair and just; covering one’s eyes with the blink of a leaf is not advisable.
Mia Ginger looked at the chat window thoughtfully when her phone suddenly vibrated beside her. She picked it up and saw that it was Camden River, immediately pressing the answer button. "Hello?"
Her voice was somewhat low, and Camden River laughed, "Still not off work?"
"Huh?" Mia Ginger glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer screen, 12:05 PM.
"Time to eat." Someone next to her patted her on the shoulder, and Mia Ginger responded with a smile. She grabbed her bag while on the phone and went downstairs with a few editors to have lunch.
Listening to her movements, Camden River smiled and said, "I accidentally saw the news on your website. Congratulations."
"..." Mia Ginger was momentarily speechless.
Camden River didn’t mind, playfully saying, "It’s only been a few days, and there’s already headline news. Shouldn’t I congratulate you?"
"You don’t understand the situation." Mia Ginger sighed.
Moreover, in terms of clicks, it’s just a moderately high level, not worth celebrating.
She’s quite worried indeed.
The group headed to take the elevator, and Mia Ginger quickly hung up the phone.
Throughout the whole meal, she was somewhat absent-minded. Her nature is sensitive, and sometimes her intuition is quite accurate. From the morning, Reagon Chapman’s reaction didn’t feel like a good sign.
Sure enough, her intuition was confirmed in the afternoon.
As soon as Reagon Chapman’s news returned, the headline on the social section was immediately replaced.
Next, she gathered everyone in the social section for a meeting, basically commenting on everyone’s work over the past few days and encouraging them to make further efforts, except for Mia Ginger. Reagon Chapman completely ignored her.
This act of ignoring came suddenly and was very thorough.
She was not allowed to work overtime in the afternoon, nor was she given any tasks in the morning, while everyone else was given assignments by name.
Mia Ginger was isolated.
This feeling is certainly unpleasant; everyone in the group knowingly understood, yet no one had a solution.
For one, Reagon Chapman was invited by the operations director, known for her strict style, and as the group leader, naturally, she couldn’t be provoked. Not only should she not be offended, everyone basically had to curry favor, or they’d end up like Mia Ginger.
Mia Ginger’s identity is there; people don’t even care about it. If they don’t like you, they’ll make things difficult. What can you do?
Jay Lee has power at the website, but he can’t always be there to protect you.
As a result, Mia Ginger became completely idle.
Official reporters have the autonomy to act, but compared to them, intern reporters have it much worse. To independently run reports, there’s a process, needing guidance from seniors.
Mia Ginger’s internship lasts for three months. Not even a week in, she hasn’t built any rapport in the office yet, and Reagon Chapman targeted her from day one. Who would dare to befriend her?
After all, Mia Ginger has a decent family background. At most, she could leave without a fuss. They can’t do the same.
Sunshining Network is considered quite good in the domestic news realm. With such fierce social competition today, people are realistic creatures. Who would risk losing their job for a stranger and stand against their immediate superior without consequences?
