Status News: Dasha Burns dishes on why she left television news to go all in on digital
Status News - Dasha Burns dishes on why she left television news to go all in on digital (free link)
"The tides are changing," Burns told Status.

It is not every day that a television correspondent opts to ditch the tube for a role at a digital news outlet. But that's what Dasha Burns, who was a rising star at NBC News, announced she was doing earlier this month when she joined POLITICO as White House bureau chief.
With television news facing a precipitous decline, the reality is that Burns is only simply getting ahead of her peers with the move. A large segment of the TV news industry will eventually need to make a similar transition. Nevertheless, switching gears on the early side also takes some admirable temerity.
We caught up with Burns for a conversation on her jump to digital, the less-than-stellar state of the news industry, and how she's preparing for a second Donald Trump presidency.
Below is the Q&A, entirely unedited.
