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

The candidate should discuss what kind of writing style they use to write their columns. Perhaps they talk in the first or third person, or perhaps they use more modern terms in their columns. They should mention why they take this writing approach and how they believe it will be successful at this newspaper.

"My writing style is very modern to appeal to younger viewers since your newspaper is for a young demographic city with many colleges. I want to encourage college age students to read newspapers and I believe my opinion columns will intrigue them and get them started in reading newspapers."
