Gossip Is Easy, Politics Is Hard.

Some Of Those Stories In Local Newspapers Are Just As Dull And Boring As The Stories That I Get From On-line Services, Which Are Basically Sort Of Straight News.

The Constant Variety Is The Most Interesting Part Of My Job.

Knowing Policy Does Help Make The Gossip More Understandable.

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.

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.
