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.

Gossip is easy, politics is hard.

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

The constant variety is the most interesting part of my job.

I'm surprised and disappointed in American culture.

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.

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