Sometimes you just get lucky. I’m forever thankful to Allison Davis, a true visionary who was a driving force behind the beginning of news on the internet. Allison hired a small group of 5 to figure out how to cover 24 hours news on this new thing called the internet. Dubbed NBC Supernet, I don’t think NBC knew exactly what to do with us at first – our first offices were on the Saturday Night Floor after all. Many people asked if I could fix their computers. With Allison’s knowledge of the NBC News bureaus, we soon found pockets of producers and correspondents willing to help us. We covered presidential summits, hurricanes, the Iowa Caucuses. We shot our own video, coded interactives. Under the leadership of Allison, along with Bert Medley, our team worked with the shared purpose of using this new medium to benefit people’s lives. I recall one of the first live chats we conducted with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, where he ended the Q&A by saying perhaps this thing was a little closer to god. Of course he also laughed when he said it. Frequently, when I reported in the field, telling people where the story would appear, they were keenly interested in what news on the internet was. At the time, there was kind of a magical mystery surrounding the internet – so much so that it became a running joke for NBC News producers and correspondents looking for an answer to a random question to: “Go ask the cyberjournalist.” Supernet was all a precursor to the formation of MSNBC, the joint venture between Microsoft and NBC (eventually unjoined). Many people today don’t know that the MS in MSNBC stands for Microsoft. When the joint venture was formed, all of the NBC News programs’ websites were hosted on MSNBC.com, so our team launched Today, Dateline, Nightly News, and Meet the Press online. Navigating these two very different corporate cultures had its challenges. But we went on to create really innovative journalism as part of these shows and won some of the first digital news awards. In particular, I’m proudest of the interactive databases we created at Dateline that gave people new ways to access consumer information that really made a difference in their lives. I do think inflection points often give opportunities to those who might not normally have a straight career on-ramp, since folks who are more established in their careers might not want – or need – to risk embarking on an uncertain career journey. Working at the dawn of internet news allowed me to accomplish much more, more quickly, working in a new medium and for that I not only owe Allison my career, but the ability to earn what I would call a professional living. Like I said, sometimes you get lucky. Cheers to Allison Davis, Rachel Chamberlin Schwanewede, Mike Wu, Stephanie E. Bostic, Matt Butcher for this fun look back.
