Snooping Around
Who: Margaret and Missy
When: Afternoon, June 30th
Where: The local tv station?
What: Margaret snoops about the local newsroom.
Margaret slept far later than she wanted, but it was restful and she wasn't about to complain. After a bath and some time on the netbook looking up the local area (she had completely forgotten to follow the lead about K-lee and the tabloids even though she'd written it down). She found the local television station interesting and thought she should spend a little time snooping around.
She wasn't sure what she'd find as she made her way through town. It was a pleasant walk and she found the studio relatively open. She figured she could fake her way around, making it look like she was supposed to be there. Right up until she got caught anyway.
She wasn't terribly impressed by the facilities, but it wasn't bad for a local station. She was willing to cut them some slack considering the budget they probably had, but not much. She expected news people to be professional no matter how much money they had to work with.
She managed to sneak her way into the newsroom. There were people scattered about on the phone and their computers looking for breaking stories and following up on community tips. She kept her mouth shut figuring the accent would give her away. She made her way through toward the studio. Security was dreadful, she thought but then she was kind of hoping it would be.
She stood back, watching the newscasters reading over their scripts for the evening news. She missed it, but not enough to give up her travels. It was nice all the same just to sit and watch the hustle that was part of the game.
