Note. Mr. Livingston is mine.
Danny Concannon’s first task as editor was to name a replacement - his
replacement to the White House Press corp. He had his short list down to
two people Janet Newman or Mark Livingston; each had the experience and
the savvy to serve the paper well only one question remained, which one
should go? The person who will do the job the best should go and Danny
knew who that person was.
“Lauren, will you please tell Mark Livingston I want to see him ASAP.
“No problem.”
“Thank you.”
------
“Mr. Concannon you wanted to see me.”
“Yes Mark, please sit down.”
Mark sat down and Danny began to speak. “Mark I have been very impress
with your work it is very precise and heart felt, when it needs to be.
You’re not afraid to say what you think or speak up when you have
questions and that is good.”
“Thank you.”
“As you are aware since I have taken my new position the White House
correspondent position has been left vacant. I have chosen you to fill
that position. I think that it will suit you well.”
“Mr. Concannon, I’m honored. I won’t disappoint you sir.”
“Just do your best.”
“I will sir. Thank you sir.”
