NBC’s Hallie Jackson talks to Bloomberg about her travel routine: “It sounds bizarre, but I always pack squeeze-pouches of baby food from Happy Baby. It can be really tough to find decent veggies when you’re racking up highway miles or bouncing from airport to airport. A Ziploc bagful doesn’t go bad, and it’s a perfect supplement to fast-food meals on the road. I don’t have any trouble with [Transportation Security Administration]—however many ounces they are—although I do get weird looks because I don’t have a baby.”
NBC’s Kristin Welker talks with The Everygirl about what future journalists need to know about covering the White House or any other beat: “My advice to young women pursuing a career in journalism is to be prepared and be confident. I think it is important for any aspiring journalist to start preparing early, including writing for a school newspaper and getting an internship in a newsroom, if possible. Journalism is a competitive industry, but if you work hard and stay determined, you can overcome any challenge.”
Fox News’s Harris Faulkner is profiled in OZY: Over lunch, she says women should prepare for battle when confronting the gender pay gap: “We get labeled when we advocate for ourselves too much: ‘She’s too ambitious.’ I don’t care what you call me. Pay me.” She does the same when asked if she worries that Fox’s opinion programming damages the credibility of its news desk. “I have six Emmys,” she fires back. “I don’t sit up at night worrying if somebody in prime time will make me less of a journalist.”
