Bernstein: It's Good To Be Back

I’ll be doing on-air “analysis” for CNN through the evening. In preparation, I’ve been doing what I’ve always done as a reporter when I’m not out talking to people in person — working the phones. Usually I do that in my office in midtown Manhattan, a private and reasonably commodious outpost. But I haven’t done it from a newsroom (a huge one in the case of CNN’s New York operations) in a long time, and I must say it’s a nice feeling to be in a sea of reporters and editors and folks running around with the urgency that daily journalism demands, especially on a big story, which the Iowa caucuses — justifiably or not — have become.
