It's mid July, thick into intern season here at the FOX 11 newsroom. Nothing makes me feel older than seeing all these of bright shining faces, eager to learn, grateful for the opportunity. I agree with USA Today's Craig Wilson when he wrote of these ambitious young people, "...sent by the gods to remind us of our mortality - to tell us annually how far down the road of life we have trudged." God bless 'em, these kids...for one day soon, they will replace us.
I remember it was waaay back when I was one of them. Tagging along with a reporter, Russ Mitchell, at KTVI, the then-ABC affiliate in my hometown of St. Louis. Mr. Mitchell, as I called him, has now been with with CBS News 15 years and I've been in Los Angeles television 12 years. Man, the time flies!
Ok, your turn. Tell me about the young punks, you're dealing with at work.

Since 1995, Jean Martirez has co-anchored the Fox 11 Morning News, seen weekday mornings 5-7 a.m. She's proud of the Emmy Award winning work she's done over the years, but this blissfully married mom of two is happiest hanging out with her close knit family and reading what you've got to blog about.
