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

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.

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

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.

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.

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