Unfortunately many newsrooms struggle with clearly defining their news philosophy. This can be very confusing and frustrating for the journalists in the trenches.

So how do you survive when your ND, AND and EP all have different philosophies?

The first step is looking at who has the most hands-on influence on your work each day.

If your EP is next to you in the trenches all day, and the AND and ND only sometimes step in, do what the EP asks.

If you call in to the AND for script approval each day, do what that person expects.

This will not protect you every newscast, every shift, but it will lessen your being in the middle of conflict.
