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

The candidate should discuss what range of salaries they hope to make based on their experience and the market they are planning to work in. They should have a good idea of what other reporters make at that station and give a realistic estimate of what they feel they deserve. Political reporters make a range of salaries, anywhere from 50,000 to 80,000 in most cases.
