1. What do you do?
I joined The Row, CNN's editorial oversight team, as an intern in Spring 2022 and transitioned to a full-time researcher position that summer. My responsibilities include managing Row editors' workflows and partnering with them to fact-check and edit TV scripts, digital articles, long-form stories, opinion pieces, audio scripts, and more. It involves heavy cross-department collaboration (especially with the legal and standards team) to review content for editorial accuracy, fairness, and balance.
