One woman's story 
I find myself intrigued by your Early Nightly and glimmers of how news stories actually make it to us at dinner time. How do stories make it from the wires to on air. Who decides which is important. How do stories get assigned? I just finished Andrea Mitchell's Talking Back and wonder what the various roles are. What does a news producer actually do? Obviously there are many producers. How do journalists obtain stories? What do all those mysterious titles mean.... Chief white house correspondent, bureau chief, analyst, etc.
