Review of Mayor Bloomberg -- Walking a Fine Line
This piece aired during the RNC in New York and because of a couple of non-absolute time frame references, a little creative editing might be necessary to be used at a later date (any time after the RNC has ended).
Otherwise, this is an excellent story on Bloomberg and a short history that any non-New Yorker might find interesting. It's a quick look at Bloomberg through his hosting of the RNC and his future political aspirations. Nicely done, a hard piece with jovial journalistic sound. I like the way the piece brought energy to the topic, through writing and editing, but didn't compromise quality.
