adam: i think so.ne thing we have learned is for all of the famous problems with media, those problems are about business models and advertising. they are not about the demand for the work itself. we have an audience that is 10 times what it was when i got into the magazine. at least. and we are charging more for it. people are paying for it. there is not a reader issue. readers want this stuff to do well. charlie: you said in a speech, what a mess of a business you are about to enter. what did you mean? adam: the business models are up for grabs. that essentially most businesses like ours have been dependent on advertising as their source of revenue. advertising still works. we have a strong advertising business. it is dangerous to be completely dependent on an industry which is undergoing a great deal of change. so different media companies are doing different things. some of them are going to the conference business. some of them are going into television, very heavily into video. charlie: do you un

adam would do any job that was asked of him. he was a lovable person, but really good at what he did. >> how about alison? what kind of reporter was she at 24 years old. >> maybe a national news anchor. i don't know. she had so much in front of her that was possible because she was quick and smart and worked hard. that's the kind of person that you won't. >> as we mentioned the gunman was a former employee that was dismissed two years ago. here is how the general manager described flan goagan on the ai yesterday. >> he was an unhappy man. we employed him as a reporter. he had some talent in it although being out of the business for a while. he quickly became -- gathered a reputation of someone that was difficult to work for. he was looking out for people to sort of say things that he could take offense too. and many in stances to the floor and we dismissed him. he did not take that well. we had to call the police to escort him from the building. >> he then filed an action with the equal opportunity commission that he made all ki

adam" again, presumably adam ward, the photographer "adam went to hr on me after working with me one time." then the most harrowing of all of the tweets "i filmed the shooting, see facebook." and, indeed, those who saw what happened and this is all at about 11:45 eastern standard time were able to actually see what it was that was on facebook and it was, indeed, an execution video from the shooter's perspective of a gun, a hand holding a gun and opening fire on alison as she was giving a live report. the camera goes dead at this point and it's presumed that shortly after the photographer, adam ward and then the other victim in this case, who survived, vicki gardner, were also shot. it was another tweet making a lot of news as well today and it's an entirely different kind of tweet. it comes from the boyfriend of alison parker. it's chris hurst, one of the main anchors at that station. he anchors the 6:00 and 11:00 p.m. broadcast. this is what he put out "we didn't share this publicly, but alison and i were very much in love. we just moved in together. i am numb." i think it's importa

adam: that is basically right. i don't think it was a high priority for the old chief but it was a high priority for justice o'connor. i do remember we had some cases and she would walk the halls and i saw her going down the hall, having justice scalia, talking to him about some commerce clause 11th amendment case. she would not be put off in those cases. the chief was congenial. i think it would not have been pushing as much if she had not been that engine for that. kannon: do you attribute that to her background? miguel: yes. coming from the west, -- kannon: the real west. not california. miguel: as scalia would say. having been a state official in the real west, she took these things seriously and took a slight when the government came in and looked over what state governments were doing. that is no longer there. the old chief was congenial with the interview but he was not pushing it. she was pushing it. adam: this chief justice, except when he was in practice, has worked for the federal government. kannon: as

i will start with adam. if we had to talk about substantive areas of law, and i promise we will not get deeply but ihose issues today, want to start with general observations about the style and overall approach of the roberts court. i will put the question this way -- if you have to think of and identify a distinctive characteristic quality of the roberts court, any aspect of the roberts court, what would that be? the: i will start with chief justice taking the spot of chief justice rehnquist, which was not the spot for which was nominated. he was nominated to the associates justice to replace justice o'connor. athink justice roberts may be different figure from chief justice roberts. i think you may have voted differently because he has an institutional perspective. he is the custodian of the court's authority, prestige, legitimacy. , it ledg the cheek spot to justice alito taking justice o'connor's spot. you now have 11 versions. we have o'connor, then alito. then elena kagan. the only switch is alito fro
