It started with some intern gossip at "Dayside with Linda Vester." We had heard the rumors, and asked a producer if it was true — "Go check TVNewser."

From that point on I was hooked — a daily reader, an occasional anonymous tipster (like here) and when the associate editor position opened up, I jumped at the opportunity.

After more than 18 months, I'm truly honored to have been a part of what Brian Stelter started and Chris Ariens has continued.

Now, I go back to being a regular reader. Brian closed his goodbye with, "I still have a lot to learn." I do too — but thanks to everyone at mediabistro.com, I'm off to a good start.
