Maggie Rodriguez: The Early Show “Not Doing The Same Old Morning Stories”

CBS’ Maggie Rodriguez, who became co-anchor of The Early Show just last month, talked about her new job (“It’s proven to be a dream come true”) — and the a.m. news wars — during an interview for the mediabistro.com feature So What Do You Do?

Rodriguez explains why she feels The Early Show is worth checking out: “You will see that we are tackling stories that are fresh and current and relevant, not doing the same old morning stories in the same old usual way. We’re thinking outside the box. And I really believe that you’ll see the energy and the enthusiasm and the hard work just by watching it. I hope, anyway.

“We have a really aggressive team of producers and bookers who are out there, and they are fighting to get people to talk to The Early Show before they talk to anyone else.”
