My job ─ and I’m privileged to do it ─ consists primarily of taking other people’s clever, original ideas and sharing them as stories on the BBC.”
“Charlie replied: “Are you daft? Of course, you have ideas. And this is an amazing opportunity. Apply!” So I did and embarked on a fascinating, nerve-shredding, and ultimately hugely positive adventure that was different from any journalistic endeavor I’ve undertaken,” she added.
