More KVUE Blogs
|
A big thank you to the editors at The Austin Chronicle, who gave me a Critic's Pick Award in this year's Best of Austin issue. The category for which I (perhaps ironically) won? "Best TV Reporter Who Can Write". The write-up: The sound-bite world of TV news can make the on-camera talent look a little superficial, but that's just image. When KVUE's Elise Hu isn't skillfully trimming down policy nuance for the idiot box, she's raising hell in her sometimes scathing, take-no-prisoners Political Junkie blog. She writes so well that she's good enough for print. (Just don't tell her she looks like former Council Member Jennifer Kim. She hates that.)I asked Chronicle scribe Richard Whittaker whether this was an insult-wrapped-in-a-compliment, and he said it was the other way around. Snark aside, I thank the Chronicle most graciously for the recognition of my work on TV and here on the blog. 4 CommentsLeave a comment |

There's too much politics in Texas to fit into a newscast, so the fun continues here.

lol, are you sure you weren't refering to the houston chronicle? (of course i'm just joke'n)
If they only knew that when I met you, five years ago, you were functionally illiterate.
Congratulations! I had a similar reaction, except I was asking before I even knew what the award was called - I didn't want to bring my wife down to accept a certificate for "Biggest Jackass" or somesuch.
