In the past, there were just a few reasons why information regarding someone was available. Only the rich, film stars, famous sports personalities, or geniuses had information about them readily available to everyone. Word of mouth was the primary source of information back then.
However, things changed many years ago. The rise in ease of internet accessibility has created a platform where information about almost everyone is available. Almost everything is done digitally nowadays.
So, if you have done anything noteworthy or interesting and you can be assured that somehow, somewhere, there will be a record of that on the web.
The internet has been a boon for people who want to find information about their favorite celebrities. Sure, even before, information about big stars was available in plenty. But now you can get information about these so-called “side characters” as well.
Let’s look at the example of a TV show, the main anchors used to be the only ones with info regarding them. But now, we can find information about someone who just does one segment of the show.
Keeping up with the spirit, in today’s blog, we are going to learn more about a famous broadcaster and columnist, Emily Carver. Despite not being in the industry for a long time, she has become a fan favorite for her analysis and reporting skills.
Early Signs Pointing Towards A Genius
Born on the 23rd of July 1992 in London, most aspects of Emily’s childhood were normal. However, from a young age, Emily was really good at her studies. It’s safe to say that there were early signs of her genius.
After going through her early schooling at a nearby school, She went to Bristol University for her bachelor’s. There, she earned her bachelor’s degree in both French and German language. This may seem ordinary to a layman, but Emily Carver had her own plan.
With her fluency in both French and German, Emily then enrolled in the London School of Economics and Political Sciences. Here she studied European politics. She graduated with her master’s degree in European politics in 2015.
Carving Out A Career Path
Once Emily Carver was done with her studies, she immediately started to work as an executive assistant at the Henry Jackson Society. However, she worked there for just a few months as she got a job at a Public Relations company, Edelman.
Emily got introduced to the world of politics soon after. In 2017, she was hired by the House of Commons as a parliamentary researcher. There, she worked closely with many MPs and was even a policy advisor for one.
After staying on for a couple of years, Carver left the House of Commons after she got a job at the Insititute of Economic Affairs, London. She was initially hired for the position of News Director.
But, due to her immense knowledge, she quickly rose through the ranks. In fact, after being the news director for a year, Emily was promoted. In 2020, she was transitioned into a leadership role as she was made the Head of Media.
Entry Into The TV World
The added bonus of this promotion was Emily’s entry into the TV world. Since 2020, Emily has been working for a popular British news network, GB News. Emily has her own segment on the network.
In her segment, she discusses political policies made and implemented by the government and their potential effect. On her show, she often discusses economic issues currently facing the country.
Emily Carver’s segment on the network can be viewed Monday to Friday, 6-8 PM BST, on the GB News Youtube channel.
A Budding Workplace Romance
This new role as a TV reporter and presenter and GB News has been very good for Emily Carver. Both her professional and personal life has changed through this show. Interestingly, it was during her time at the GB News that Emily met her partner.
Carver is currently in a relationship with her fellow GB News employee, Patrick Christys. In fact, Patrick’s show is just before Emily’s. The couple seems very happy and committed to each other, as seen on their social media.
Emily Carver’s Earnings Along The Way
With her career as a Head of Media at the Institute of Economics Affairs and as a presenter, Emily has a decent net worth. According to various sources, she has accrued more than $1 Million to date. Furthermore, it is solely because she voices her opinion, especially for women’s rights.
That is impressive as these professions are not generally known to be big money makers.
Final Words
Being talented or super intelligent is no guarantee of success. There have been many examples of people having tonnes of talent, but that doesn’t always translate into success. To be successful, talent is not enough. You need to put in constant work and long hours.
Sure having incredible knowledge gives you a head start, as was the case for Emily Carver. But she consistently put in the work and never slowed down, thinking its enough. Yes, we should not be like Icarus fly and go too close to the Sun, But the quest for greatness requires pushing.
Carver proved that sensible pushing could make you reach the top of your field, and we should learn that from her. Another journalist quite similar to Carver is Helia Ebrahimi, who also explains how brave they have to be to follow their career fearlessly.
