A random thought I’ve had
On the news today you have the typical ‘This is Steve he’s working from home today, why? Because this is his son Jack, he’s also working from home today because his teachers are on strike’
Or ‘This is Julie, she’s having to take two jobs, and still can’t pay the energy bills’ and you’ll have a report from her suitably downtrodden looking flat.
Where do they find these people from? How do they find a suitable case study person? Do they put some sort of request out?
Similarly say on budget day, you’ll have a report in a cafe where a group of people are watching the chancellors statement - you’ll have a retired person, a young person, a blue collar worker, an office worker, some will be left wing, some right wing, some neither. The cafe owner will also chip in with their thoughts. How is this sort of thing set up?
