DEAR MYSELF AT AGE 20...
Be very thankful. You are among the final generations of young broadcast news reporters that will graduate to find a job that provides a decent salary and a photographer to work with. Ten years from now, people hired for the same position will be required to shoot their own stories, as well as post it all online in more places than you can imagine, and you will do it all for less money.
Don't rush to move on to higher markets or positions, because happiness and success can be found anywhere.
Spend more time on your writing and less building your resume tape. Your coworkers will respect you more for it.
