The bustling newsroom, a cacophony of ringing phones and clattering keyboards, was a world Leo knew intimately. He watched as his replacement, a young journalist named Alex, took a seat at the desk beside him. He felt an unusual sense of... responsibility.

"Alright," he said, pushing aside a stack of papers. "First things first: the phone etiquette." He spent the next hour explaining the nuances of interviewing, how to listen, how to read between the lines, the importance of accuracy.
