Katie Jackson, online producer reads her 3:00 update. Live from the newsroom at 2:10 p.m. Alongside Jackson, Lindsay Hale, newsroom editor/production assistant and pony trainer, holds the nameless pony.
On tonight's newscast our producer Tracy Perlman used our nameless pony as the subject for the kicker. To enspire us with story ideas we have two newsroom mascots: Princess Nat and her nameless friend. But we can't possibly have a mascot without a name, so the online producers in the newsroom started pondering the name of Princess Nat's new friend. A fellow newsroomer named her "Hell's Angel," but look at her.... it just isn't fitting. Then, in an exclusive interview with "her" we found out that she might be ... wait for it ... a man! Despite the gender issue we are still left with a pony without a name. If you have any name suggestions for our new friend post a comment.
The nameless pony
The accent of the Pony sounds quite British, so I vote for Marmalade.
I think Eleanor Rigby is perfect. She obviously loves the Beatles.
That's a good name, Chris. He/she/it seems a bit distraught right now because he/she/it doesn't have a name. He/she/it mentioned he/she/it is a beauty. So for right now until he/she/it gets a permanent name, maybe his/her/its temporary name should be The Weeping Beauty.
Whatever the name, add "the 7th" afterwards, in honor of the seven second delay. Have to give radio news some love.
