Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary, has transitioned to television, becoming a rising star at MSNBC with her show 'Inside with Jen Psaki' and now hosting 'The Briefing.' Drawing from her experience in government, Psaki highlights how a deep understanding of politics and communication aids in her new role, countering the notion that only those with traditional journalism backgrounds can succeed in media. This trend mirrors the practice of networks hiring former athletes as commentators, who provide unique insights drawn from personal experience.
"I do think it helps in moments like this. I do think it's valuable, and sometimes can be undervalued from people who are like, 'Well, you can only be in media... if you went to journalism school..."
"Coming from a background of it means you've lived that experience and can provide insights that others might not be able to offer."
