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.
From Tabitha Soren
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.
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.
At NBC I wasn't really sure if the grandparents were going to get my sense of humor on a particular topic.
Caring about policy is important - people in washington forget.
For the last year I've been at Stanford University as a student and I've had time to read the newspaper.
Gossip is easy, politics is hard.
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'm surprised and disappointed in American culture.
I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.
