Some news managers have been slow to grasp that good television news is always substance over form.

In interviews I gave early on in my career, I was quoted as saying it was possible to have it all: a dynamic job, marriage, and children. In some respects, I was a social adolescent.

By far my most perilous assignment was covering a tank car explosion.

Although I was entirely relaxed on camera, if I had to stand up and say something to an assembled group of people, I was rendered all but inarticulate.

Television news is a delicate balance of serving public good and private gain.

The bad news is that 50 people died in a hotel fire; the good news is that we got exclusive footage.

It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.
