Age: 35
Senior Journalist, Newsdesk
Personality
Aloof, rebellious.
Jack prefers to do things on his own and in his own way. He does not play by the rules and hates authority figures. He takes his job seriously and will not stop at anything to bring the truth to the people. But at the same time Jack has an emotional distance to his stories. He learned how to do that, the hard way.
Backstory
When Jack was a rookie reporter, he made a promise to a whistleblower of a corporate giant, to print his story. But Jack was shut down by his editor for lack of evidence. (or fear of retaliation by the corporation?) The whistleblower committed suicide. Jack felt responsible and it took a long time before he could forget (but not forgive himself).
Jack was offered to post of editor a few years back, but he refused. He is not a desk person, and he will never leave the street. Andrea accepted the position.
