My mother was married to one of the greatest newsmen of all times. CNN was built out of his idealism and his recognition that, in a global age, we needed greater understanding of the world around us.

Given the news we all read or hear about, it's actually made me a stronger parent - I'm not a 'helicopter parent,' but I am very aware of local and world events and want to teach them what's right and wrong.

I wish there was a news channel that really told you what was going on in the world, not just sensationalized news.

I have studied at the school of the world.

Using e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.

I'm a mother, I'm a journalist, I'm an American; I'm all of those things, and it really complicates your job when you have all these things come into play.

When you live in America, it's kind of insular - the news coverage that you get - unless you're really smart about it and find more international news coverage.

My old mother, she has no idea what's going on in this world.

My mum is incredibly intelligent.
