The BBC’s Scotland editor, Jane Cooke, has been contemplating how future history books will remember her time in the office.
Sitting at her desk, surrounded by files and papers, Jane wondered whether she would go down in history as the greatest Scotland editor ever or be remembered as a footnote in the BBC’s history.
“It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it,” Jane quipped, as she shuffled through a stack of papers.
As she pondered her legacy, she couldn’t help but think about her colleagues, John Doe and Mary Smith. John, the BBC’s London editor, had just released a tell-all memo about his time at the corporation, which had caused quite a stir in the office.
“Looks like John’s trying to steal my thunder,” Jane grinned, flipping through the pages of John’s memo.
Meanwhile, Mary, the BBC’s US correspondent, had just returned from a trip to Washington where she had interviewed President Donald Trump.
“Mary’s getting all the good assignments,” Jane sighed, shaking her head in disbelief.
But Jane refused to let her colleagues steal the spotlight. She was determined to leave her mark on the BBC.
“I’m going to make history,” she declared, before grabbing a pen and diving back into her work.
