Gossip Is Easy, Politics Is Hard.

When I Was A Freelancer, I Thought This Journalism Thing Was A Racket, And Now That I'm Where I Am Now, I Know It's A Racket.

You Have A Specific, Defined Audience-at Mtv, They Assume The Audience To The News Is 15 To 30 Years Old And They Do A Lot Of Research About The Things They're Interested In.

It's Nice To Know About Something As Soon As It Happens, And Obviously A Newspaper Can't Provide That.

At Mtv, It's Very Nice Sometimes To Be Able To Be Very Specific. Specificity Really Makes A News Story Interesting Because You Can Color It In That Personality.

I Worked At Nbc And Mtv For Two Years, And It Was Very Interesting To See The Comparisons Of Audiences And The Way That I Would Have To Present A Story To The Two Different Places.
