While not Waitman, the answer may be quite simple, as I believe it has been addressed previously.
Perhaps what is needed are the same privileges as for the "Daily Headline News" forum, both of which are compiled by Ms. Dolores, and occasionally another administrative staffer.

If memory serves me correct, this was addressed following the changeover of the format earlier this year.
