The Internet feeds off the main press, and the main press feeds off the Internet. They're working in tandem.

'Frontline' does 10 news shows a year, so one a week is quite an undertaking.

While I was doing 'The Newsroom,' I always had the news on on different networks on different TVs around my house and around my office.

We now assume that when people turn on the evening news, they basically already know what the news is. They've heard it on the radio. They've seen it on the Internet. They've seen it on one of the cable companies. So that makes our job a bit different.

I know the rigors of network news. I didn't want to be jumping on an airplane twice a week. I didn't want to be tied to my pager and my cellphone.

If there's one thing that 2009 showed us, it's that everything is happening everywhere, across multiple platforms, each one making waves that end up crashing against each other and commingling into one giant media sea.

I read Google News and use NetNewsWire to keep up with general and tech news.

The 'Evening News' is going to have a long run, both as a broadcast and as a presence online and on cellphones. It is a franchise with a very rich tradition.

I believe journalism or news will migrate to the online medium.

I get most of my news updates from electronic and social media.
