Television journalists have a front row seat as history unfolds.

It goes with the territory. Viewers can only imagine what happens behind the scenes. It might not make headlines, but for a working journalist each assignment is a unique experience. Woven together they create a lifetime of memories. Covering political milestones, breaking news and the arts is a fabulous ride. The stakes are high and the pressures intense. Deadlines and ratings are a way of life, and the cast of characters in the newsroom become an extended family. It's a privilege to work with broadcast legends who love the craft and dedicate their lives to informing viewers about the people and issues that dominate the national stage. Along the way, there are highs and lows, ups and downs, triumphs and defeats - but I wouldn't change a thing.
