If I were a paid journalist, I would dig into this story. It is apparent to all that Chelsea Clinton is a bright woman, a product of favored grooming, and who has upward mobile opportunities when she applies herself to more than managing her father’s foundation.
Crossing into the journalism profession is suspect because, as the story implies, you need grassroots experience to develop skills and experience. Some of Chelsea’s life-long learning experience is so unique that it is certainly transferable, yet, there is no substitute for hard work as the saying goes.
If she plans to enter politics at some point, transitioning from journalism to politics is not the career path I would recommend. I would rather see her gain substantial experience as a manager-executive of a product manufacturer engaging the global marketplace. That should become a favored element of qualifying experience in the future, I think.
Without having that as a foundation, followed by in-the-trench experience in state legislature or as a mayor of a major city, followed by governorship, Chelsea will be another Maria Shriver, maybe.
“Chelsea Clinton makes broadcast debut on NBC’s ‘Rock Center’
By Hank Stuever, Tuesday, December 13, 12:35 AM
It’s no surprise whatsoever that Chelsea Clinton didn’t electrify broadcast journalism with her debut Monday night on NBC’s “Rock Center With Brian Williams,” because she has no experience in broadcast journalism. She didn’t cut her teeth with live coverage of strip-mall blazes in Sacramento. She never did weekend weather in Wichita Falls. She didn’t blow the lid off mail-order ham scams in Des Moines. (Who — besides everyone working in TV news who did each and every one of those things — says you have to do all that?)
Rather, what was surprising to see on Monday night’s show is how someone can be on TV in such a prominent way and, in her big moment, display so very little charisma — none at all. Either we’re spoiled by TV’s unlimited population of giant personalities or this woman is one of the most boring people of her era.”
