"With years of experience doing whatever it takes to get to the bottom of each story, I am looking forward to covering the stories in the human dimension, and impart the passion and visceral reactions the audience seeks"
About this Quote
The intent is twofold. First, it’s credentialing. By foregrounding years of experience, Rivera claims authority before he ever names a beat. Second, it’s recalibration. "Human dimension" signals a move away from the cold recitation of facts toward narrative intimacy: faces, tears, fear, outrage, redemption. He isn’t promising new access so much as a particular lens - the kind that turns events into embodied drama.
The subtext is the quiet admission that the audience has changed, or at least the incentives have. "Impart the passion and visceral reactions the audience seeks" reads like a candid acknowledgment of demand-side journalism: stories shaped not only by civic importance but by what will land in the gut. It’s also Rivera winking at his own brand. His career has long been tied to spectacle and emotional voltage, where the reporter isn’t a transparent pane of glass but a conductor of mood.
Context matters: this is the language of late-stage broadcast and cable news, where the competition isn’t just other outlets, it’s every screen-based dopamine hit. Rivera frames intensity as service, even as it blurs the line between bearing witness and performing it.
