Nicole Lapin interview…
Wired Magazine’s Eric Steuer has an interview with CNN’s Nicole Lapin. (via FTVLive)
Why take a job anchoring news on the Web? Doesn’t everyone want to be on TV?
This is the future of news. It’s what my children will watch. Plus, there’s something great about being part of a venture like this from the start. Kurt Loder will always be associated with MTV News. Bernard Shaw will forever be synonymous with CNN — he started when people didn’t think the network would last.
You’re part of the first generation of reporters to arrive in the era of citizen journalism. How has this shaped the way you work?
Right now, I’m producing a series about influential young people, and some of the ideas I’ve used have come directly from suggestions readers have left on my blog. As an anchor in this new medium, what I do is a combination of traditional reporting and pointing people to where they can find the story told best
If Nicole Lapin would spend less time standing on desks she might improve her weak anchoring skills.

Spud, have you ever watched Ms. Lapin anchor on Pipeline for four hours straight? Also she is standing on a desk. I can’t figure out why that is.. do you have any idea?

Isn’t standing on a desk young and hip? Next we’ll see Lou Dobbs doing it and no one will question that!

This woman is horrendous. All that is wrong with TV news. Enough said.

She is the future and you are jealous…and Lou would stand on a desk– he’s defying convention as well, good or bad!

LOL
Lindsy Lohan? yeah, actually now that I think of it I believe you’re right. She does target the teens, but we must admit that she is “original”, doing something different. Now if I only was 17 again.. LOL
