In this kind of situation I would have to with the attractive girl straight from college. The reason being is that so many people now a days judge people by their looks and if they look cute they are more likely to get paid attention to no matter what, but I also say her because she is out of college. She needs to get her footing into the door for oppturnities for maybe going higher up to the big news stations like fox, cnn and others. But the with veteran journalist you may be more safe depending on what you want as she knows what she is doing and knows how to get the facts or story she has to report on to tell the public. Either choice is good but for some or a lot of people, looks can go very far and grab peoples attention which in a way can be a bad or good thing.
Yeah, it’s definitely a position where your looks mean a lot. Unfortunately, people are judged by their looks quite often in our society and there are studies that have been done that more attractive people make more money than their unattractive counterparts. It’s just a simple fact of life. I agree with you, we should definitely hire the younger candidate.
