Bio

Veteran journalist with hard-won expertise covering the media and advertising industries. I've written about everything from the merger of AOL and Time Warner and the disruption sparked by DVRs to the post-Letterman scrum in late-night TV and the demise of TV ratings and the 30-second TV commercial. In recent months, I have focused on the effects of the rise of streaming video on advertising, the news media and live sports broadcasts. I have profiled Jimmy Fallon, Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, Rachel Maddow and Megyn Kelly, among others, and provided expert analysis on events ranging from the challenges of the entertainment industry's streaming wars to disruption at Fox News Channel. More about me: *I have more than two decades of experience as a reporter and journalist, primarily writing about media, marketing and advertising. I was the Wall Street Journal's advertising columnist for four years, and Ad Age's TV Editor for six. * In addition to writing for outlets including The Boston Globe, Salon and Entrepreneur, I have appeared on CNBC's ''Squawk Box,'' MSNBC, ''NBC Nightly News,'' Al Jazeera America, and various radio programs, including ''On the Media'' and ''On Point'' and SiriusXM's 'Business Briefing.' * I also enjoy writing about pop culture, music and entertainment, and am always open to hearing about opportunities to do more in these areas.
