asserted
audience → get → what
They’re looking for the best and latest video that captures an event, making graphics to help explain the story (I love charts!) and writing scripts that grab the viewer and keep them watching.

And then, at a moment’s notice, they may have to tear up the entire rundown when breaking news changes everything.
uncertain

Suddenly, the carefully planned show is gone, and the team is shifting to something happening across the country or around the world.

asserted
we → lose → them
Our technology teams keep us connected to breaking news and events around the world in real time — something we all take for granted right up until the second something doesn’t work.
And then, of course, there are those who help us look our best.

The wardrobe department has a great eye and is always there with a pin or a piece of tape when we need it.

uncertain
me → make → minutes
I can’t wait to see them every day and catch up.
asserted
