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.

If The Breaking News Event Has Something To Do With Young People, Specifically With Mtv's Audience, There Was A Higher Chance That I Would Actually Go Cover It With A Television Camera Instead Of Just Write The Story Myself And Read It On The Air.

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.

Gossip Is Easy, Politics Is Hard.
