It’s great that you have the police reports and statistics and a kid willing to talk. But since we’re also doing our already sponsored “Kids Love Camp” campaign this summer, it seems to me that it might be a conflict of interest. I mean, we can’t exactly be promoting camps on one newscast and then showing the icky things counselors do to kids there in the next, now can we? (And since one’s already paid for, guess which one sales wants us to go with?) If you’re looking for something to work on, may I suggest you contact the author of that new “How to Marry a Millionaire” book? I was thinking we could give our viewers “Nine Tips to Marry Rich.” (Unfortunately in his book he only offers seven tips—but since we’re News 9 it’d be more promotable to do nine.
