Patron Saint of Television

No joke. There is one. It's St. Clare of Assisi, follower and helper of St. Francis. In one newsroom where I worked, there was a glow-in-the-dark St. Clare statue that watched over our assignment desk. According to Catholic Online:

"Clare of Assisi was named patron of television because one Christmas when she was too ill to leave her bed she saw and heard Christmas Mass -- even though it was taking place miles away."

She also lived in poverty, like so many local television news producers.
