At NBC I wasn't really sure if the grandparents were going to get my sense of humor on a particular topic.

If the breaking news event has something to do with young people, specifically with MTV's audience, there was a higher chance that I would actually go cover it with a television camera instead of just write the story myself and read it on the air.

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.

Caring about policy is important - people in washington forget.

At MTV, although the audience is smaller, I found it more interesting to deliver news to a specific group of people, because my story then did not have to try to be all things to all people.

It's nice to know about something as soon as it happens, and obviously a newspaper can't provide that.

I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.
