If you’ve never had a chance to get to know Jenese Harris, you’re missing out. For instance, we learned that Jenese might be an architect if she had not become a journalist. And that if she could have any super power, she would choose time travel — and for a very heartfelt reason. Without further ado, here are our four biggest takeaways from Jenese’s AMA:Do the news topics you cover ever bother you?

If you’ve never had a chance to get to know Jenese Harris, you’re missing out. But even for those of us who have been fortunate enough to work alongside Jenese in Channel 4′s newsroom, there were some surprises revealed in her Ask Me Anything for Insiders. For instance, we learned that Jenese might be an architect if she had not become a journalist.

Lauren: My biggest piece of advice for someone aspiring to be a journalist is it is not a glamorous job. First of all my favorite soup of all time is Pasta e Fagioli, but it has to be homemade and no my family is not Italian. My boss and I always say we love consumer news because it’s news you can use. Lauren: It depends on where but in Jacksonville, I’m a huge fan of Orsay.

ICYMI: Vic Micolucci’s AMA | Rebecca Barry’s AMA | Lena Pringle’s AMA | Justin Barney’s AMAAnd that’s just scratching the surface of our conversation. Now, without further ado, here’s Tarik’s AMA:How did you become an investigative reporter, and do you have any advice for those who aspire to become an investigative reporter? As for advice for being an investigative reporter specifically, I’d suggest you somehow try to get an internship (if you’re not in the news business) and latch onto a reporter who can show you the ropes. What investigative work are you most proud of? If you weren’t a TV anchor and reporter, what would you be doing?

Those are just a few of the questions News4Jax Sports Editor Justin Barney fielded during Tuesday’s Ask Me Anything. A lot of youth on this year’s Jaguars team and I think that inexperience is going to continue to show. I think a 5- or 6-win season is in the cards in 2020 for the Jaguars. Justin: I think it’s too early to say he’s overmatched or that he’s a franchise QB. Justin: I’ll take the Jaguars this week and hope that the coaching staff has corrected that pitiful effort against the Dolphins.
