Going back as far as I do covering men’s college basketball, the objections to me being an analyst never came from inside the game. The players and coaches have always showed me the utmost respect and quite frankly my gender has never felt like an issue inside the game.
Most announcers play pattycake, pattycake with the players they’re covering.
I think when I started going to war zones and started covering humanitarian issues, it became a calling because I realized I had a voice, and I can give people without a voice a voice… and now it is something that sits inside of me every day.
Journalists dedicate their lives to covering war – they make many personal sacrifices, and it’s not something that’s gender-based. In a place like Libya where there’s heavy fighting, it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman.
With my skin, I have to avoid direct contact with the sun, so that, combined with my mom being conservative, meant I grew up wearing stockings under shorts and long sleeves under tank tops. It was kind of embedded in me that I was supposed to be covering up.
The day after my mom died I fly back to California and spend the three weeks before the California primary making arrangements for her cremation, planning and getting the house ready for a memorial service and covering political rallies in Southern California. The normalcy of work helps.
In the beginning, all of us got ‘women type’ stories. Like covering the first lady instead of the president.
I mean, first of all, let me say whichever superhero first came up with the idea of wearing a cape, he wasn’t really onto anything good. The number of times I’m treading on that damn thing or I throw a punch and it ends up covering my whole head. It’s really not practical.
To shoot a conventional film means that you are always covering yourself. You are putting nets and, in a way, letting bad decisions take over.
From the very beginning, we were all a hundred and ten percent about the music, from the very early days when we could barely play our instruments, and we were just covering other people’s songs when we were in high school.
The feathers have been retired to the London Hard Rock Cafe. I don’t obsess about it as much. Also, it’s strange – the better physical shape I get in, the less I care about what suit I’m covering myself up in. I’m not really out to flaunt it, but I’m just more comfortable in my own skin.
I defend a woman’s right to cover her hair if she chooses, but the face is central to human interaction, and so the ideologues who promote its covering are simply misogynists.
I can play every position in the secondary. And I can do everything – help run support, traveling, covering whoever is out there, small guy, big guy. I can play any type of coverage – blitz if I need to. There aren’t too many people who can do all of that.
Every school should have well-rehearsed emergency response protocols covering a variety of possible scenarios, from fire to armed intruders. Schools should have good lines of communications with local emergency response officials and practice those relationships in drills and special exercises.
Storytelling is the only studio movie where the censorship is perfectly clear, the only studio movie with a big red box covering up a shot. I take pride in that – and, of course, in having avoided the fate of Eyes Wide Shut.
If chick-lit really is taking a commercial battering, I’d suggest it’s because the marketing has been done to death. Covering everything in girlie pink and putting chocolate in the title may once have been a clever Pavlovian device but now makes readers feel a bit sick.
I do have a problem with how ‘Politico’ has engaged in covering politics, especially on our side. I think it is tweet-happy, it is clickbait in many cases, and it’s devoid of facts.
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
In fifty years of covering the sport, of course Muhammad Ali is by far the dominant figure.
You know, we have a long history of covering different periods of this band’s development with a live record… a sort of live thing that would be done for three or four records, and that was the intention with this particular package.
Islam’s not just about covering your hair. It’s about how you treat other people.
Truly, if you can’t cover a five-car pile-up on Route 128, you should not be covering a presidential campaign.
We really have the most beautiful planet in our solar system. None other can sustain life like we know it. None other has blue water and white clouds covering colorful landmasses filled with thriving, beautiful, living things like human beings.
The understanding of Syria’s devastating civil war has been distorted by the immense danger and difficulty of covering it.
Computing should be taught as a rigorous – but fun – discipline covering topics like programming, database structures, and algorithms. That doesn’t have to be boring.
I had never been out covering a story, but boy, was that fun.
Many futurists use a checklist approach to make sure they’re covering a sufficiently wide set of topics in terms of both research and brainstorming during a foresight exercise.
