Christina Erne is a meteorologist and a journalist at News 10, Albany's ABC/FOX affiliate.

A challenging aspect of the job is finding stories in a country that is completely foreign to the candidate. That person should discuss the ways they dig deeper into the community and talk to locals, rather than just report on politicians or the hot topics of the day. They should discuss ways they plan on finding unique and new stories to share.

"I believe some of the best stories are found in the lesser known places. I plan on venturing to some of the smallest corners of the country and talk to locals about what is going on in their lives, because oftentimes the biggest stories are the ones that are never shared."
