In the Today FM newsroom, we all probably use our phones a bit much, but we promise it's for work - not just to slack off.
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, they say 'screen time at home should be limited to two hours or less a day' which equates to 14 hours a week
Now we know what we should be aiming for, let's have a look at how the newsroom is doing.
- Rorie McGregor [Polly's producer] - 56hrs, 54mins (Rorie we are concerned)
- Chris Reeder [Content director] - 43hrs, 12mins.
- Grace Cocker [Morning news chief] - 41hrs,34mins.
- Caitlin Ellis [Reporter] - 39hrs, 12 min.
- Stefanie Gough [Marketing manager] - 35hrs,43mins.
- Lloyd Burr [Host] - 31hrs,10mins.
- Grady Connell [Digital content producer] - 30hrs,20mins.
