Caring About Policy Is Important - People

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.

When I Was A Freelancer, I Thought This Journalism Thing Was A Racket, And Now That I'm Where I Am Now, I Know It's A Racket.

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.

You Have A Specific, Defined Audience-at Mtv, They Assume The Audience To The News Is 15 To 30 Years Old And They Do A Lot Of Research About The Things They're Interested In.

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.
