As a media member, my goal is to inform the American fans of persons of character. It's a joy for me, either writing a good story or telling a story on video.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We cheer everyone who goes off to Hollywood and tells American stories but telling Australian stories is the greatest thing you can do.
In my work, I just want to tell a story and help people go on a journey. I'm glad any fans that I do have, and I'm usually not aware of it until I get out there or read a message board. I want to thank everyone who follows my work.
Stories, as we're taught in journalism school early on, are told through people. Those stories make our documentaries powerful. You can explore someone's culture, you can explore their experience, you can explore an issue through human beings who are going through it.
I tend to gravitate toward reporters who cover all aspects of the story: from personal aspects to the big picture that answer the 'so what' of a story.
Fans want to see a story with characters, and they want to see a story.
I'm not going to name some of my colleagues who are very well-known for their television presentation, but they wouldn't know new information or how to report a story if it came up and bit them.
There is a great insatiable hunger for good stories throughout the media.
The more I know about America, the better I'll be at performing American characters and American stories.
We all tell our own stories the way we live our lives. My story is: Life is too short to not believe in fresh voices. I don't have Hollywood stars. I have great American artists.
I am grateful that as a reporter and as an anchor, people have allowed me to share their stories.
