In the New York Times, you're going to get completely different information than you would in the USA Today.

It's not like I just have to go to Washington and go to the White House everyday, and go to the same press conference at 10 in the morning and then be briefed at 4 in the afternoon, and then get a story on at 6.

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

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.

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

Online, you have things like Slate Magazine, which has a lot of commentary and analysis of stories, so it gives you a fuller picture. I would compare that to a news magazine or the New Republic.
