Considering that this vehicle was always meant as a companion to the broadcast -- and a way to lift the veil on our moving parts and decisions (why and how we do what we do) -- it's fitting, I guess, that I'm posting by handheld device this morning to mark a year's worth of writing in this space. We are in New Orleans to cover preparedness as the start of hurricane season begins officially.
                                    
For the record, it was NBC executive and veteran producer Jeff Gralnick who convinced me to blog. From that day on, it has changed my daily life and schedule. It has brought me closer to our most dedicated viewers and has proven to be a (sometimes controversial) window into our lives. My thanks to all those who have made a point to read The Daily Nightly over this first year.
