I think there is a real value in an editorial point-of-view and in editorial curation, and in putting together an entire narrative around a set of topics is important.

I think when you're knee-deep in coming up with editorial plans, the desire to sit down and pencil something is pretty strong.

One thing I can say right off the bat is that creating great editorial is a huge challenge, and you can't help but go through the process and not appreciate how valuable this skill is, and how much I admire the people who do this every day.

I do love editorials - you're free to do whatever you want and portray a different character.

We journalists make it a point to know very little about an extremely wide variety of topics; this is how we stay objective.

The big thing in favor of doing an editorial on the front page is that it would be a powerful signal of how concerned we are about guns.

I really do think we're going through a period of concentration of ownership of media, and we're starting to see the effects at the editorial level, and it's all bad. This increased pressure for profits every quarter, smaller news hole, less coverage of important stuff - the extent that it's become one giant infotainment industry.

At the end of the day, my focus will be to make the 'Evening News' as strong from an editorial perspective as it possibly can be.
