It's my town's newspaper. Always stuck in the fight of having to deal with the modern digital era. The internet, the TV, the resurgence of idle gossip...fearsome foes, all those.
By now it's not even every home, it's every person. Sure makes it easier to spread things all over the place -- and printed things like a newspaper won't do great unless they reinvent themselves. That's what my job, I'm the spirit of change and the new age. They should make me a statue to commemorate my efforts.
[She's all for messing with the status quo, and the editor who used to be before her kept things incredibly dull and samey for twenty years, so Erin is doing what she does best and causing major upheavals]
Year is 2018. You'd be like a little lost lamb if you saw the modern era.

So a journalist.
[ There's a bit of thoughtfulness there, but vague. ]
Guess the profession itself invites a certain kind of person... or is it that that kind of mentality is needed for the job to begin with?
[ He shakes his head a little. ]
What's the "internet"?
no subject
Oh you didn't just ask that...
[How to explain this to someone who doesn't know the internet. Why do so many of you have to come from like the Stone Age, she thinks to herself]
You know what a radio is? Imagine everybody has a radio and through it they can share all kind of things. Something like that.
[Incredibly simplified! She's dearly hoping Daan knows what a radio is]

If it helps you, the year is 1942.
[ He's learned some of you are from insane years like 2205. He doesn't know what to expect of anything. ]

I seem to be doing just fine in this weird world, so why not another.
[ Somewhat flatly. ]
May you get the recognition you deserve then, for your groundbreaking efforts. What exactly do you cover?

Then when something big and unusual and probably paranormal happens, I plaster it all over the front page.
[Which happens way too often for a sane life, yet too rarely for a newspaper's existence. Erin is trapped in that paradoxical situation]
no subject
Paranormal things happen often there? I guess it must, since you believe in it all... that's rare for a journalist in my world.
