Colleague, Fan, Both?
I shouldn’t have felt embarrassed…after all, at Tuesday’s Newsmaker lunch, there was a HUGE line waiting to meet Meredith Vieira and get a photo with her. But it seemed “awkward” to admit being a fan of another journalist. I’m not sure why. After all, most of us have mentors or folks in the industry we’ve sought to emulate. So perhaps it’s fair to say I’m a longtime admirer of my “colleague” Meredith Vieira! Newsmaker participants enjoyed her genuine warmth and humor as she shared stories and insights into today’s major issues. I’ve enjoyed her blog on iVillage, where her recent entry mentions the Today show’s broadcast from the Georgia Aquarium.
