The job I wanted before I was in college was to work for CBS.
I was at CBS News on a fluke. I replaced somebody who was on vacation. I worked as a copy boy, then became a news writer.
I always wanted to be an anchorman, but after college I wound up working behind the scenes at CBS News for 10 years.
I was a radio presenter in Dubai for five years.
I was nearly fired from my second job, which was writing press releases for Boston's public television station.
I started working at Bravo in 2005, when I was offered a job by Lauren Zalaznick, the network's chairman. She encouraged me to start a blog. I wrote behind-the-scenes gossip about 'Battle of the Network Reality Stars,' the first show I took on as head of current programming.
This is the best job in television. I grew up watching the 'Today show.'
My son works as a production assistant in television.
Media wants to know everything. We are in this industry: we have to get used to it; we are still getting used to it. So I have no complaints. They are doing their job.
At 13, I volunteered at the radio station. My first job was cleaning up when I was 17, and before I really started, they fired people for stealing station equipment, and I was on the air.
Well I just always wanted to be a newspaper reporter.
At 27 or so I thought, you know, I actually do really want to make money and have a proper life, and I don't want to be a loser. I know! I'll go to university and get a proper degree and maybe get a job in media... I went and did an English degree.
When Bob Wilson left the BBC for ITV, I got the 'Football Focus' job, and it went from there. It came completely out of the blue, but the fact I had a high profile certainly helped.
I wanted to be a radio announcer.
It wasn't until after college that I started writing. I had just applied randomly for jobs in the media and got one on a magazine called 'Pensions World.' So I was writing for a living there and that's when I started my first book.
A journalist is a reporter out of a job.
Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.
I would not leave the 'Times' for a television job.
I like working with television. I do.
To get a job in TV is just amazing.
That's what my job is: to create quality programming.
I don't get celebrities not understanding that the paparazzi are doing their job.
I know that every football fan would love to do my job; get paid to watch football and say it how they see it, and I know I'm in a very privileged position.
I have the best job in the entire history of broadcasting.
The criticism from the media never really bothered me. I'd correct it when I can, but that's their job. If stuff wasn't personal, then it really didn't bother me.
