Early on when I first started in this industry, I struggled with speaking up in fast-paced meetings where everyone had strong opinions. It took time to find my voice and realise that my perspective was just as valid. Has anyone else had that moment of learning to belong in a loud or high-pressure media team?

I think that's a natural part of working in the media, you'll often be around some pretty smart people who don't mind expressing their thoughts. And that's always going to be intimidating. It's good to hang back a little and read the room and eventually get the courage to speak up.

Exactly! I found those people who were more confident are great to learn from too

Absolutely. Finding your voice takes time, especially when surrounded by strong personalities. Once you realise your input adds value, the noise feels less intimidating.

I love this advice, it’s exactly what most people need to hear when they start out

That moment when you finally speak up in a meeting and everyone just nods because they thought you were the intern until then.

Hahah this is too relatable

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female.

Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

"Don't Look Up" is as real as it can be.

I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
