I happen to have a public profile. Ditto newspaper editors. It's a result of what I do, not an end.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have been a print reporter my whole career. It's all I ever wanted to be. I specialize in political profiles. I have probably profiled hundreds of people over the years, people in very powerful positions. People don't always like what I write, but most people still talk to me.
You can certainly keep a low public profile if you want to.
For many years I was engaged in journalism, writing articles and chronicles for the daily press without ever joining the staff of any newspaper.
I come from a long line of people that write. My folks ran a weekly newspaper.
I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.
I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.
I make friends faster and easier than journalists.
You know, the more I appear on newspapers, the more famous I become.
Most of the press is sent to my publicist so I do see most of what is written about me.
I'm a journalist and author. I make my living by finding things out and writing about them.
