[edit] Freelance or staff of Fox News?

Saw McNaught a few minutes ago on Fox News, introduced as the newest member of their team. This sort of implies that she's a staff member, and not a freelancer. (Fox is the same outlet her husband was working for when he was kidnapped earlier this year.) I haven't seen any mentions of her joining Fox yet doing a Google News search. Does anyone know if she freelances for Fox or if she's on the staff? I noticed that her stints at the BBC and The Times were already in the past tense in the "Career" section; if she's no longer working for CNN (likely) or Television New Zealand, those should probably be moved to the "Career" section as well. For now, I'm leaving them in the introduction, but put them in past tense. I expect news about these aspects of her career will be news soon; when it comes out, we should put one or both of them in either present or past tense and place them in the article accordingly. 71.83.210.142 21:02 18 December 2006

Anita McNaught is a freelance journalist and as such her time at Fox News will be on a freelance basis unless there is a change in contract and she becomes a permanent member. This means that while she appears on Fox News, she may also appear elsewhere, for example, on BBC World. Wikiwoohoo 21:08, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. What is your source for this? 71.83.210.142 21:19 18 December 2006

Anita was reporting an item from CNN I saw on SBS World News here in Australia several days ago which would seem to back up that. She wouldn't be doing anything under CNN's banner if she was contracted to Fox.
