I was in a profession that received a lot of media.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to be a journalist.
I am now using media as a tool to bring attention to marginalized people.
My father was and is a great journalist. Thirty years ago, I was studying broadcasting in college, and the problem was I wasn't nearly as good as my father. I wasn't as quick or as smart as my old man, and I realized it would be a long time before I was ever going to be, and I decided to do something else.
As to a media personality, well that just happened in large measure because people found me amusing, and I did lots and lots of T.V. news interview shows.
I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.
My career is media. One can turn on the TV or look at a magazine and see me.
I became a journalist because one didn't have to specialise.
I was working my first adult job, a quasi journalistic job, writing content for a website. In the offices, we had banks of TVs, papers, a constant media stream, which was unusual for 2001.
There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.
I think for more than half of my career, I have refrained from talking to the media.
