Television's not going read stories to you.

So you shouldn't really flatter yourself that they want to be your buddy. They don't. Generally. They want you for some reason or other, and you just have to fend that off all the time.

Whomever you're going to interview, you have to be interested in what it is you want to know from them. You have to be interested in the subject.

Television's very dependent on images. That's not what news is.

It's gonna be short if it's news; put it at the top. Style's not an issue, just make it news.

I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.

Well, a lead is the most important thing about the story.
