I've Been Told I'm A Player, But

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.

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 Story Had To Do With Hard News, Politics Specifically, I Had A Lot To Do With It. If It Had To Do With Music, Kurt Loder Was More Involved.

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.
