Ruth
Ruth is an ethical journalist and Anie’s long-time rival, standing firmly against Anie’s methods and worldview. She is driven by a relentless pursuit of truth, but never at the expense of the people involved. Her intense focus and discipline often make her come across as bossy, even when her intentions are fair.
Ruth is determined to prove that there is a better way to practice journalism. She wants to defeat Anie not by cutting corners, but by being the superior journalist, one who wins with integrity intact.
Her greatest fear is becoming hardened and jaded, losing the empathy that defines her work. She worries that the pressure to succeed may one day force her to cross lines she believes should never be crossed.
Motivated by truth, justice, and a strong sense of competition, Ruth is committed to exposing unethical practices within her profession while making a genuine, positive impact on the world. She believes in fair play, takes only calculated risks, and values respect above shortcuts. Curious, objective, hardworking, and principled, Ruth holds tightly to the belief that how you win matters just as much as winning.
