"The Girls on the Bus": Amy Chozick's Journey from Journalism to Drama
TL;DR Summary
Amy Chozick, co-creator of the Max series "The Girls on the Bus," explains why the show, inspired by her book "Chasing Hillary," is set in a fictional world with made-up politicians and media outlets instead of exploring real-life challenges. The show, a light dramedy, follows four female political journalists covering a presidential election and aims to be an escape from the dark and divisive nature of real politics. Chozick discusses her transition from journalism to TV writing, the focus of the TV project, and the challenges female journalists face. She also reflects on the public's perception of journalists and her nostalgia for the newsroom.
