Drew Too many to count shared a letter in the
Women's Empowerment group 1 year ago To a Talented News Anchor...
Drew ZuhoskyDear Madison,
As you know, television news is an intense business. Murders, fires, funerals, anything you can shake a stick at… and those are the first 10 minutes of the newscast most nights.However, there’s also a lot of negativity about how the news is presented. The heavy politicization of news can take its toll on any anchor person, no matter who it is.
However, despite the negativity that journalists get on a daily basis, your talent shines through, day in, day out. Your station is lucky to have you.
Any station in the country would be lucky to have you. I’m very fortunate that you and I are in the Youngstown Press Club together. When you and I took that selfie together, I knew this was the start of a great friendship.
As someone on the autism spectrum, making new friends is oftentimes easier said than done, but you were very warm and welcoming to me when we met at the Christmas party.
Bottom line: Madison, you are so damn talented.
Aww Drew this is so sweet. Madison sounds like and sweet, talented and wonderful reporter. I am sure she will appreciate you writing such a beautiful for tribute to her. Never change, Drew. Your heart is so sweet. <3 Lauren

Oh, she did. Not long after I completed this letter, I sent it off to Madison’s email at her station (she had just finished her dayside shift after the 6 pm newscast. She loved every word of it.

I happened to see Madison again last week at the Press Club’s Annual Meeting. It was the first time I’d seen her since the letter. She hugged me. I thought she’d start bawling again.

It’s so crazy News Anchors are like superheroes if you think about it. Some news that they take is so hard to carry but they tend to deliver it in such a respectful way towards everyone. I don’t know how they can do it but I find it so cool That they could also say lines without making a mistake or improv.

In a profession where the workers are seemingly under attack by the general public on a daily basis due to a lack of trust and a perception of misinformation, Madison thrives.
