Jenna Bush: Girl Reporter
If the Today Show's new education reporter looks familiar, she should: Jenna Hager, daughter of former president George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, has been hired by the NBC morning program to file stories once a month. (Who says there are no more jobs in the news business?)
"I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do the best job on them—education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy," Hager told the Associated Press. Jim Bell, executive producer of the top-rated news show, insisted that Hager won't be covering politics.
In 2004, when Hager (then known by her maiden name) was 22, she showed her respect for the her future colleagues by sticking her tongue out at reporters covering her father.
That doesn't mean she doesn't have an interest in television. In 2007, a reader of Time Magazine asked her how she and her family deal with her father's critics: "We don't watch too much television," she said. "The world is such a big place, and there's so much that goes on, but a lot of the media really just cover the same thing over and over again."
